  1. What’s happening at the Academy?

  2. Speak Out • There are two new ways in which you can speak out about bullying. In the student reception, you will find a ‘Speak Out’ box. You can post your comments in here. • Remember, we can only tackle bullying and support those being bullied if we hear about it and have enough information. Posting anonymously can’t work. • You can also email your concerns to our new email address speakout@wigstonmat.org

  3. School Key Words • Responsibility • Resilience • Engagement • Ambition • Respect These five words represent where we see ourselves and are now linked to the A1’s you can achieve during lessons

  4. Aerosols and bodysprays • A reminder that aerosols and bodysprays are banned in school. Water based sprays are fine. • They cause issues for people with breathing conditions and as a result are potentially very dangerous As a reminder: Food should only be consumed in the dining room or outside Banned Items (There are a few but here are the main offenders) • Chewing gum • Fizzy or energy drinks • Glass Bottles

  5. Rm 39 Subject Champions • Subject Champions are teachers who have volunteered to give extra help to all students who are registered to Rm 39. • Make the most of their expertise to get extra advice with your subjects and help with your homework. • Look out for posters around school and green stars on staff lanyards

  8.
