Unsworth Academy UNSWORTH ACADEMY Friday 11th June 2021 Dear Parents and Carers, Coronavirus Update – Please Bring your Face Masks to School As you will all be aware, the number of people testing positive for Covid-19 in the Greater Manchester area is rising, and we continue to be very vigilant with regard to face mask wearing and hand sanitising. This message has been reinforced yet again this week by all form mentors and by myself in all this week’s assemblies. However, a small but persistent minority of learners are expecting us to provide face masks for them on a far too regular basis. Please can I ask for your support in ensuring that your child brings at least two face masks to school - one to wear and one spare in case they lose or break one. This week we have had to send home just one very small bubble of eighteen year 9 learners. We do not want to have to send any learners home, but we must follow the government’s guidance. Our continued vigilance will hopefully ensure that we keep the number of learners having to be sent home to the absolute minimum. We have endeavoured to ensure that all those learners sent home have full access to their revision materials ahead of the year 7 to 10 exams, which take place from Monday 21st June to Friday 2nd July, but please do not hesitate to contact school if you need to call in to pick up any outstanding resources. Thank you for your support and, as ever, we continue to watch this space. Further Reduce the Spread of Covid -Lunch and Breaktimes Outside Now that the weather has improved we must also take every single opportunity to ensure that all our learners are outside as much as possible. Indeed, we all know that the chances of catching Coronavirus are dramatically reduced in outdoor spaces. From Monday 14th June form rooms will close at lunchtimes and all learners will be expected to eat their lunches outside or sitting in their social bubbles in the year group areas in the main hall/dining room. If it is raining, then we will of course open up the form rooms again on wet days. Lateral Flow Tests for Learners Continue Thank you for your continued support with home testing. Learners will need to continue to test at home twice weekly. Please continue to report all LFD test results (negative, positive and void results) to school. Please report all test results via the dedicated email address: [email protected] or via our phone line.

Please drop off any items at reception. Last year your donations made a huge difference in supporting us to ensure that every learner is able to come to school in the correct uniform and regardless of any financial challenges. School Uniform update Prior to the half term I wrote to you asking for your support to ensure all learners returned to school correctly dressed in full school uniform, including proper school shoes. Your response has been fantastic and our learners look incredibly smart. Thankyou Year 7 to 10 Important Internal Exams Reminder Please be aware that these important exams will take place from Monday 21st June until Friday 2nd July. All learners have been issued with paper copies of their exam timetables and they have been sent out electronically to all parents/carers as well. Copies are also available on the school website. All subject topics to be revised have been sent out via Show My Homework. Please support your child by ensuring that they revise for these very important end of year assessments. Yours sincerely, Mrs S Armstrong Academy Principal Mrs S Armstrong Academy Principal Unsworth Academy, Parr Lane, Bury, BL9 8LP Tel: 0161 796 9820 Email: [email protected] Online: www.unsworthacademy.org.uk Shaw Education Trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales under company registration number 09067175 at registered address Kidsgrove Secondary School, Gloucester Road, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

  • Christmas Grapevine 2019
    BURY CHURCH OF ENGLAND HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 2019 FAREWELL It is with a great degree of sadness that I find myself writing this, my final article for the Grapevine newsletter. I will be stepping down as Headteacher of Bury CE High School after seven years, having joined the school in September 2012. It has been a privilege to lead this wonderful historic school. To have been part of a community that goes back to 1748 has been an enormous joy and I have loved it. The Governors will determine who the new Head will be to take on the reins and lead the school forward in the next stage of its development. I want to say thank you to all who have supported the school during my period as Headteacher. To parents and carers, I would say a big thank you for entrusting your children into our care. I have had the joy of seeing your children turn into amazing young men and women of whom we, and you, can be immensely proud. To those who have been friends of the school, I would thank you for your support over the years. Your help has enabled us to achieve vastly more than we could have ever imagined. Whether it has been clergy giving up their time to come in and lead services, or Alumni giving generously to support prizes and fund-raising activities, or the community coming together to remember those who are no longer with us at remembrance events, it has all added to the achievements of this school.

  • School Bus Services in the Rochdale Area
    School Bus Services in Bury September 2019 to July 2020 Services in this leaflet operate on schooldays only, unless otherwise stated. Although provided primarily for school students, members of the public may use these services. Services are listed alphabetically under school names. An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare and also offer daily return tickets. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. On most services, students can also buy a weekly scholar’s ticket, which costs £7.40 These are ONLY valid on schooldays on school buses and are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at https://www.tfgm.com/tickets-and-passes/bus-school-bus-services There are also a small number of TfGM funded services where the operator sets the fares.

  • October Half Term Newsletter 2019 Dear Parent / Carer
    October Half Term Newsletter 2019 Dear Parent / Carer I am delighted to share with you an update about Hazel Wood High School at the end of Half Term One and also to let you know important details for the next half term. Good News from Half Term One We celebrated the opening of a new school with a fantastic open evening attended by over 150 new prospective students and families, with an article published in the Bury Times. We also hit the press, again in the Bury Times, with articles about our MacMillan Coffee Morning raising over £140 run by our new year 7 students and an article about our new school vision and values. We have football, netball and basketball clubs running for all years and had sporting success, achieving 3rd place in the Schools Basketball Competition and some great wins in Year 11 Netball at Tottington High School and Woodhey High School. Our girls football practice, organised by our sports games co-ordinator Mr Lord, has ever increasing numbers and they are raring to get their first game played. Our Year 10 Performing Arts students had the exciting opportunity to watch James Corden in the National Theatre’s production of One Man Two Guvnors and visit The Lowry Theatre to see The Royal Shakespeare’s As You Like It. All pupils had a fantastic time learning skills needed for their Performing Arts exam and were a credit to Hazel Wood High- well done Performing Arts team! The Bury Careers event went unbelievably well with lots of curiosity about who Hazel Wood High School are.

  • Our Letter on GCSE Results
    UNSWORTH ACADEMY Wednesday 21st July 2021 Dear Parents/Carers/Learners GCSE Results Day – Thursday 12th August 2021 Following current government guidance, with the removal of bubbles and social distancing restrictions, we are now in a position to detail arrangements for learners to collect their results in summer. How will the GCSE Results Day run? Y11 Learners: arrive at school to collect results between 9.00am – 10.30am Y10 Learners: arrive between 10.30am – 11.30am Members of the senior leadership team and pastoral team will be in attendance, as well as representatives from Bury College and Holy Cross. What happens if my child is unable to attend and wants someone else to pick up their results for them? Somebody else may collect the results but must bring a signed letter confirming permission to do so from the learner, along with proof of their own ID. Results cannot be given out without this. What happens if results are not collected on Results Day? Y11 results will be posted out to your home address at the end of the Results Day. Y10 results will be given out when learners are back in school in September. Information on the appeals process can be found at https://unsworthacademy.org.uk/guidance-for- summer-2021-exams/ On behalf of all the staff here at Unsworth Academy, may I pass on best wishes to all our learners for Results Day and for their subsequent post 16 continued studies.

  • Unsworth Academy
    UNSWORTH ACADEMY 18/09/2020 FOR PARENTS/CARERS OF LEARNERS OF DIRECT CLOSE CONTACTS OF A CONFIRMED CASE OF COVID 19 at UNSWORTH ACADEMY Dear Parent/Carer, Public Health England have informed us that there has been a confirmed case of COVID- 19 within school in year 8. We have followed the national guidance and have identified that your child has been in close contact with the affected person. Public Health England have informed us that your child along with all other year 8 learners must now stay at home and self-isolate until Friday 25th September (this is because the child who has tested positive has not been in school since Friday 11th September, which marks the start of the 14 day isolation period). Year 8 learners will be able to attend school again from Monday 28th September 2020. We are asking you to do this to reduce the further spread of COVID 19 to others in the community. If your child is well at the end of this period of self-isolation, then they can return to usual activities. A negative test does not mean that your child can return to school earlier. Other members of your household can continue normal activities provided your child does not develop symptoms within the 14-day self-isolation period. Remote Learning Procedures are being put in place to commence on Monday 21st September. The procedures will be shared with students in assembly this afternoon and with parents via email this evening. If your child in entitled to a free school meal, then you will be contacted shortly with more information on how this will be provided to you.

  • Unsworth Academy
    UNSWORTH ACADEMY Tuesday 5th January 2021 Dear Parents/Carers, Good afternoon everyone. Another very busy day after the government’s announcement last night. I think we expected a delay to return to school for face to face teaching, but a full half term delay came as quite a surprise, and we were really looking forward to welcoming all our learners back sooner, rather than later. The ever changing landscape is a challenge to navigate; however we are doing our very best to keep you fully informed, without having to do too many last minute u turns. I continue to thankyou for your support and patience. (Full details and all the information for parents and carers about going back to school in January (last updated 31st December 2020) can be found on the DFE website.) Year 11 update The further announcement that year 11 exams will not go ahead as planned, but with as yet no alternative arrangements (the government is working on next steps with the exam regulator Ofqal) will be causing a great deal of concern and anxiety for many of our year 11’s. We really feel for them and will do all we can to support them through this difficult time. As I write the I Media exam scheduled for Monday 11th January is still going ahead. Mr Lamb has written to all year 11’s sitting that exam in a separate letter and will inform them of any ongoing changes. I have received an e- mail from Bury College today confirming that they are intending to carry on with phone interviews for our learners who have applied to go there; these will take place after their school day finishes.
