Year 10 End of Year Exams Information Event
All Year 10 pupils will be taking their end of year examinations next half-term, from Wednesday 12th June onwards.
We are hosting an Information Evening on Thursday 6th June from 4.30 – 5.30pm for parents and carers of our Year 10 pupils where we will share more details about the exams, and to answer any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you there.
Uniform Expectations
We hold our pupils to the highest standards, and this includes the academy uniform. We would appreciate your support in ensuring that your child adheres to our Uniform Policy. Specifically, trainers should not be worn unless your child has a PE lesson, hoodies should not be worn inside the classroom, and hoods should always be taken down when entering the building. Make-up should be minimal; false eyelashes are not permitted.
Where pastoral staff notice and point out incorrect uniform, pupils will be given a short period to correct this (e.g. buy the correct footwear, take off false eyelashes). After this grace period, if the issue is not fixed, pupils will be sanctioned according to the Uniform Policy.
Attendance: Penalty Notice Updates
Maintaining regular attendance is crucial to ensuring that all Ark Boulton pupils achieve their full potential. Please click here for an important update about penalty notices and fines for unauthorised absence for the new academic year.
Conduct on the Academy Playground
As we move into the warmer months, we are aware that pupils will be drinking more water during breaks and lunchtime and the temptation to cool off by instigating a water fight will increase.
Ark Boulton Academy operates a zero-tolerance policy towards water fights (or fights involving liquids of any description). Any pupils involved in such activities will receive sanctions as appropriate.
Dates for Your Diary
Please save the date for Year 8 Parents’ Evening on Thursday 27th June, Year 10 Parents’ Evening on Thursday 11th July and Arts Fest on Wednesday 17th July.
