Welcome to the Term 1 Newsletter of the 2020-21 Academic Term – we hope you like the updated format. The word “unprecedented” has been used extensively to describe our current situation and although I may be at risk of verging towards hyperbole, I would suggest that “totally unprecedented” may be more apt!

Although this year has finished in the most unusual manner, there is still much to celebrate. I am pleased to be able to once again to share some highlights of the recent term, and indeed the year that we have just finished. Given the volume of communication that I have recently sent out regarding the return in September, I will use this Newsletter to direct you all to some key piece of information about the new academic year. Please do read it carefully and get in touch with us via office@allsaints-academy.co.uk if you need to.

Welcome to our Term 5 Newsletter, written in the most unusual of circumstances in that we have now been closed as a school – and indeed, largely a country – since 23rd March due to coronavirus. I hope you will appreciate the reasons for this update being rather shorter than normal, but I hope it still provides a helpful update on the work of our school community this term and makes the position after half term clear for every year group and every student.

I am writing this on one of the strangest days the UK has faced for many years. We have just been informed by the government that the current lockdown will be extended for at least another three weeks in order to slow the spread of Covid 19 across the country. The last few weeks have been truly extraordinary and things will no doubt be different when we do indeed return.

It seems hard to believe that we have already completed Term 3 following the return to school after the Christmas break. With the mornings and evenings gradually becoming lighter, I am sure we are all looking forward to the full emergence of Spring soon! Notwithstanding the state of the weather, though, I am pleased to be writing to you again for our latest newsletter.

The first edition of our new newsletter! You’ll likely notice that this is in a new format. We wanted to modernise our newsletter and bring attention to everything that has happened in the term in a more visual manner. After all, a picture does speak 1000 words! So much has happened over the past 4 months and we have endeavoured to capture as much as possible through our camera lens. We’ve had a complete renovation in our PE department, Bikeability Training, PiXL Edge Training, All Saints Music & Arts Festival, Open Evening, a Panto and our Christmas Music Celebration to name a few! Check it out, all in this terms newsletter.
