We held our final Governors' meeting of the first year of Drapers' Academy on 12 July. Still lots of challenges but we all thought that not only were we making progress but the future looked most promising.
After the holidays the highlights of next term will be:
The largest entry for some time for the school on the site with some 110 children entering Year 7. This is over twenty up on last year.
Work starting in setting up the exciting sixth form that will open in September 2012.
A topping out ceremony for the new buildings within the next eight weeks. This is a major step forward with the project. The shape and size of the building will become increasingly evident over the next few months.
Selling the Academy to the local community for Year 7 and sixth form entry in September 2012 in the Autumn schools round.
Lots of improvements to the curriculum, including more music teaching for Year 7s.
Matthew Slater, the Principal, and his team have put in a huge amount of work this year and the results of this will become increasingly evident over the next few terms.
Now it is time for the staff and pupils to have a well-earned break and my best wishes to Year 11 leavers who were, unfortunately, the only year group at the Academy not to benefit from our new sixth form..
