Aston Community Education Trust (ACET) Newsletter Issue No Aston Community Education Trust (ACET) Newsletter Issue No. 8, December 2014 Dear Parents / Carers Welcome to all our readers, especially those new to our trust community. We hope you find the contents of this newsletter, which highlight just some of the activity and achievement taking place in our academies, interesting and informative. It was with a real sense of excitement and anticipation that we awaited the start of the first day of the new term in Aston and Thurcroft, but this was especially true in Lowedges Junior Academy which formally came into existence on September 1st. Trustees, governors and staff had worked hard to progress all the paperwork associated with academy conversion during the Summer Term, in the hope of a July 1st conversion, but this was not possible due to delays in the completion of documentation, so we were all delighted when finally the official notification arrived confirming that Aston Community Education Trust was responsible for a third academy. Very special mention and well done to the girls from the Aston Academy U16 Staff have been very Netball Team who were crowned South Yorkshire champions. A really amazing impressed with the wonderful achievement! We wish them good luck as they now move on to represent the start that our young people county in the next series of matches. have made to Academic Year 2014 / 2015. The pupils and Congratulations also go to Aston Academy Vice Principals, Mrs Josie Sanigar and students have arrived in the Mrs Rebecca Hibberd, whose posts have been upgraded to Associate Principals, with effect from January 1st 2015. This reflects the additional responsibilities which they will be undertaking as a consequence of my wider role as Executive Principal of Aston Academy and Chief Executive Officer for ACET. The trustees thank them academies punctually, smartly dressed; for the great commitment and service that they have already demonstrated to the have behaved well and responded Aston community and wish them well in their new roles. positively to staff. Monitoring grades indicate that the vast majority have made pleasing learning progress since September and where this is not the case, plans have been put in place to accelerate progress next term. On behalf of staff, governors and trustees, I would like to thank parents / carers for their support in enabling our young people to take maximum advantage of the opportunities made available to them – by continuing to work together in partnership in this way, we will ensure that all our youngsters are able to realise their full potential in all aspects of their development. Literacy has been a firm focus in all three of our academies this term, with the pupils and students being encouraged to read well and widely, and we ask that parents / carers continue to support their children’s progress by reading to them and with them and by talking about the importance of reading. This is important whatever your child’s stage of development – whether they are in Early Years learning to read for the first time or in Post 16 researching A Level subjects. If you would like more information about how you can support your child’s reading or As we prepare for the last week of the term, with all the excitement of Christmas wider literacy, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Watkin or Ms Scutt in the assemblies and presentations, I ask that our pupils and students reflect on their junior academies or Mr Kilgannon in Aston. Let us try to improve the literacy skills attendance, progress and achievements so far this academic year; celebrate their of all our young people during 2014 / 2015. successes and consider any ways in which they can make further progress next term, never hesitating to seek support from our staff, who are only too happy to Congratulations to newly elected prefects at Aston, including the senior prefect assist them.
