Parent Updates

Last week we enjoyed the first Ark Boulton Character Games. Every Year Group had the opportunity to participate in track and field events, games and other activities designed to showcase the work we have done over the past year to develop character. I am so encouraged by the level of respect, motivation, determination and perseverance shown this week by all involved. We are truly #TeamBoulton.

Important updates for the final few days of term are included below.

Mr L Cole, Principal

Our annual Arts Fest takes place on Wednesday 16th July, from 5.00 – 7.00pm. This promises to be an exciting celebration of our pupils’ hard work and talents in Art, Drama, Music and Literature.

To allow staff to prepare the grounds for Arts Fest, pupils will be dismissed in a staggered style from 12.00pm. All pupils (unless supporting Arts Fest) will be offsite by 12.30pm. 

Everyone is welcome to attend Arts Fest. There is no cost for entry but this year we are raising funds for Beyond the Horizon – a charity that provides support for children, young people and families facing loss, trauma or separation.

There will be plenty of opportunities throughout the event for you to donate to Beyond the Horizon, should you wish to do so.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Friday 18th July 2025 will be a non-school uniform day at Ark Boulton Academy. This is a great opportunity for pupils to enjoy the final day of term while raising funds for a meaningful cause.

To take part, we suggest a £1 donation, which will be collected during morning registration. All proceeds will again go to Beyond the Horizon.

Pupils should bring all their usual school equipment in on this date, including fully charged laptops.

Pupils will then be dismissed in a staggered style from 12.00pm – all pupils will be offsite by 12.30pm. 

Please read the Non-Uniform Day letter here.
