Academy Update 35 Bexhill Academy Gunters Lane, Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex TN39 4BY T: 01424 730722 Catherine Davies, Executive Principal Vicky Norris-Wright, Head of Academy E: [email protected] Eleanore Gordon, Vice Principal W: www.bexhillacademy.org 16 July 2021 ACADEMY UPDATE 35 Dear Parents and Carers As the Academic year draws to a close and we reflect on a very different year, despite its challenges, it has brought out the best in our community and I am very proud to be part of it. Over the past year, alongside leading and managing the day to day organisation of the school, it has been my responsibility as Head of Academy to manage the Covid strategy and to try to maintain as much face to face contact between students and staff as possible, whilst observing the Government guidelines. The school year will end as stage 4 of the Government Road Map is implemented and with this information in mind, I am writing to inform you of our plans for the beginning of September, which incorporate the latest Schools Covid-19 Operational Guidance (July 2021) As you may already be aware, schools have been asked by the Government to implement Lateral Flow Testing on the school site in September as students return from the summer holiday. We are experienced at this and have set out our initial plans for implementation as follows. In September we will stagger Lateral Flow Devise Testing across 2 days. This will help us to avoid over mixing of student groups before we have results from the first LFD tests. Thursday 2nd September – We will LFD test Year 7 and Year 11. Year 8, 9 and 10 stay at home. Friday 3rd September – We will LFD test Year 8, 9 and Year 10 and we also hold an Induction Day for all Year 7 (Year 11 stay at home) Monday 6th September – Lessons begin for all year groups. Our plan is that (as before) for the first test, students attend school in their school uniform at the agreed time to do their LFD Test. Students will test and go, Year 7 will be first between 8.30 and 12.30 on Thursday 2nd September. The new Year tutors will be on hand to support this process and parents can wait for students just outside the gates should they wish to. Year 11 will be tested from 1.00pm onwards. On Friday 3rd September Year 10 testing will start at 8.30am, Year 9 at 10.30am and Year 8 at 1.00pm. A specific time for your child will follow in due course. The second on-site test will take place in the following week. From Monday – Friday 6-10th September, this will take place towards the end of each school day. Monday Year 11, 2-4pm, Tuesday Year 7, 2-4pm Wednesday Year 10, 2-4pm Thursday Year 9 2-4pm and Friday Year 8 2-4pm. Specific appointment times for the Lateral Flow Tests will be emailed to you next week alongside the necessary forms for permission for new students in Year 7. Needless to say, we are making these arrangements in July and our intention is for them to go forward, but as ever (these days) we will see if any changes occur over the summer holidays that necessitate alteration or cancellation. We have implemented many changes over the last two years to ensure that Covid-safe procedures have been adhered to and at the same time relentlessly pursued the retention of the curriculum for all students. When we return in September some of the Covid procedures will be maintained as they work well, students have ATTWOOD ACADEMIES Registration Number: 09148479 highlighted that they wish for them to stay and since the pandemic began, the school population has increased dramatically. The school is now at full capacity and we are over-subscribed. Some procedures will be parked unless required again. Strategies we will keep for September Staggered break and lunch for all Year groups. A staggered finish to the school day. Year group allocated space in the Heart Space Our one-way system around the building Our one-way stair-cases A focus on maintaining circulation of air around the building by keeping windows and doors open whilst we can. Students and staff able to wear masks should they choose to do so. Hand sanitising promoted at all times. Cleaning of desks at the end of tutor time each day. The school day will run as follows. Start of Day: All Year groups 8.30 AM End of Day: Year 7, 8 and 9 is 2.50PM End of Day: Year 10 and Year 11 3.00pm. Period 6 finishes for Year 11 at 4.00pm on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday As with all plans over the past 2 years, the rate of change has taught us to learn quickly and adapt, the students more so (we think) than the adults. Changes we have made have shown how quickly adaptation can take place and significantly the level of student resilience in our community. Students have been open to new ideas, new ways of working and have recognised that the world is a different place today. As we move ever closer to September and the possibility of a more normal year, let us hope that we retain what we have learnt and use it to move forward positively. And finally, we close for the summer holiday on Friday 23rd July. We have an exciting Sports event that day with individual Year group tournaments and an athletics event. We will finish at 12.30. Student are invited to attend on Friday 23rd in their Bexhill Academy PE Kit or normal school uniform if not taking part. We will not be operating our changing room facilities on Friday due to numbers involved. We wish you an excellent summer break. Stay Safe. Vicky Norris-Wright Head of Academy Calendar Dates 23 July – Last day of term. We will be holding our annual sports day on Friday 23rd July. Students will finish after sports day at c.12.30pm 2 September –Year 7 and Year 11 Lateral Flow Tests in school. Students to attend in full uniform and Year 7 students to bring signed permission slip with them. 3 September –Year 7 induction day. Year 8, 9 and Year 10 Lateral Flow Tests in school. Students to attend in full uniform. 6 September – First day of school term for all year groups. All students must be in school by 8.25am wearing full school uniform. Lessons start at 8.30am. Safeguarding Update With the Summer Holiday break fast approaching, for the next two weeks we will be reminding parents/carers of the relevant support services available for children and families. This week includes details of national counselling and mental health services for young people. i-Rock is a local service, based in Hastings, Eastbourne and Newhaven, that can offer young people advice and support on emotional and mental wellbeing, jobs, education and housing. There are many different people at i-Rock and they have a wide range of knowledge and information. So whether your child wants to talk about how they’re feeling or get advice on things like continuing their education, someone will be able to help. Details of the local iRock service in Hastings are as follows: Address: Rock House, 49-51 Cambridge Road, Hastings, TN34 1DT Email: [email protected] Twitter: @HastingsiRock Facebook: iRockHastings Further details of other mental health and counselling services can also be found on our academy website. Hastings Pride 21 Sunday 29th August: Calling all LGBTQ+ young people and their friends, families and allies! This year's Hastings Pride event will have a dedicated Youth Zone. This will be a dedicated, safe space for young people to enjoy- there will be acoustic music and spoken word, stalls, food and more. Young people can also explore the rest of Pride- with a “back to the 80s” theme, great performances, a main stage and alternative arts space, fairground rides, plus delicious foods and stalls to shop at. But the Youth Zone is exclusively for young people- so if young people need a place to chill out, meet friends or sit down and be comfy, that’s where they can head. Allsorts Youth Project who work with young people who identify as LGBTQ+ are supporting the event. This is the 4th annual Hastings Pride, after having to cancel last year’s event due to the pandemic social restrictions. The organiser say, "It will be a really colourful, fun community Pride. LGBTQ+ young people, their families and their allies can march in the parade, along streets festooned with rainbow bunting, or just arrive at the festival and soak up the atmosphere." Date: Sunday August 29th 2021 Location: Festival is held at The Oval, Bohemia Rd, Hastings TN34 1EU. For more information, including details of the parade, and other events for young LGBTQI+ people during Pride Month, please visit website: https://hastingspride.org.uk/ Mental Health Update My initial reaction to England losing 3 – 2 after extra time and penalties to Italy was sadness, especially for the three players whose penalties were missed or saved. After reflection I realised my sadness was not to do with the loss, but the negative public reaction that these players specifically are likely to receive. It is easy to forget that Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka are young men, living their greatest dream with the expectation of the whole Country on their shoulders. None of them would have stepped forward to take a penalty with the intention to miss, or have it saved.

The Shakespeare’s The choir performed some very uplifting songs, including True Colours, which the audience found very moving. Tempest The KS3 and KS4 Drama groups performed some pieces which portrayed the horrors of war from different perspectives. There was a sermon from The Reverend which made the Year 7 students really consider the implications of war. It was an extremely successful event which will now become part of our annual calendar of events and we look forward to doing it again next year. small group of Year 7 and 8 A students were lucky enough to work with professional actor Milton Lopes in a two hour workshop which took part in Bexhill Academy’s theatre.
