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. The Academy has partnerships with a school in Harbin, China and through European Comenius Awards we have developed links with schools in France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Bulgaria.
