We have supported our secondary schools – The Birley Academy, Noel Baker Academy and Da Vinci Academy – as they prepare for and host their first ever Virtual Open Events. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, inviting prospective pupils and their families into school has become a very difficult task, however these virtual experiences allow people to still get a feel for the school and find out everything they need to know.
We’d like to invite you to join us for our Virtual Open Evening, Thursday 8th October from 5:30pm!

We’ve been supporting our schools with some much-needed building upgrades. Not only do these building alterations give the place a fresh, new feel but they can also aid in the school’s social distancing restrictions by creating space in usually cramped areas. Updates include new toilets, equipment and fresh coat of paint.

This year, every student at Da Vinci Academy will receive a knowledge organiser containing the key information for each subject and a self-quizzing diary to write the questions and answers each night for their homework. These can be used throughout their education to help with revision.

Our chair, Mark Blois, has produced this informative piece about the progression of governance alongside the growth of our trust.
Following government guidance and regular updates, as from September, each of our schools will follow additional COVID-19 expectations that all students must adhere to. This is to protect and ensure the safety of all students and staff. To assist with this, our academies have made their expectations visible around the school site with useful posters and polite reminders.

Without the ability to hold a ‘traditional’ transition event, a series of social media transition graphics were created that contained key information for Noel-Baker Academy and Da Vinci Academy, helping to ensure students feel supported and prepared before starting Year 7 in September.
