T Teams: Microsoft Teams is a platform available to all our UKAT students. We use Microsoft Teams to participate in remote lessons on student's iPads. We also use Teams to share lesson content and information between our staff and students. Timetable: Students follow a timetable and every student receives a copy of their timetable on their iPad, which tells them what they have on each day, at what time and where. Students can also request to have a printed copy of their timetable from Student Services. Please keep a copy/note of it at home. Trainers: These are not part of the Academy uniform and are only allowed for PE and not in lessons. Students who choose to wear trainers to the Academy will be asked to change. Refusal will result in being sent to the ER or sent home to change their trainers. Trips: A number of trips are held each year at the Academy. The majority of trips are covered by the Lifetime Consent Form which parents/carers are asked to complete in Year 7, or on entry to the Academy. However, a letter will be sent home for each trip giving details of the visit and how to apply.
