The areas of the Academy are very closely linked and staff know all the children through daily contact. In mixed year groups, pupils are grouped by age to ensure a fair and consistent approach [as agreed in the Academy’s extension consultation process].
Each class has its own teacher who is responsible for general progress across the curriculum and for pastoral care.
