Dear Family,

As we reach the end of this half-term, I want to take a moment to reflect on the progress Year 10 students have made and to thank you for your ongoing support. This has been a crucial period in their academic journey, with students continuing to develop their knowledge, skills, and independence as they work towards their GCSEs. We are incredibly proud of their dedication and resilience, and we appreciate the role you play in encouraging and guiding them through this important stage.

Attendance 

Year 10 has had some positive weeks for attendance, but there is a long way to go. Please remember that we do not authorise days off school for ‘minor childhood ailments’ such as stomach ache, headaches or coughs and colds. Please encourage your child to come into school every day to build resilience. Year 10 attendance so far this Spring Term is lower than the Autumn Term, so we look forward to seeing Year 10 students in school, on time, every day after the Half-Term break. 

Uniform and equipment

A reminder that all students should be wearing a Co-op Academy Leeds branded blazer or v-neck jumper; please ensure your child has one of these items to wear. Additionally, on PE days, students need to wear Co-op Academy Leeds branded PE kit - plain black is not an appropriate substitute for this. Uniform items are available from the Jo Brand Uniform shop. 

All students must be equipped with a pencil case containing black pens, red pens, pencils, and a ruler. These items are available to purchase from the academy for a discounted price. 

Academy return

Co-op Academy Leeds reopens on Monday 24th February at 08.15 am. We are looking forward to welcoming your child back into the academy to start another half term of learning!

To access your child’s behaviour log, download the Arbor Parent app using the QR codes. With this, you can see attendance information, praise points, and behaviour points. 

Thank you for your continued support.

Best wishes,
