Partial School Closure: Year 9

Update: 27 November 2020

Unfortunately, due to the number of Academy staff self-isolating next week we are again unable to open operationally to Year 9.

After taking advice given by Department for Education and Public Health England, we have made the decision to ask all year 9 students to remain at home for a further week from Monday 30 November to Friday 4 December.
Students should continue to access their learning remotely on ClassCharts

For parents who are eligible for Free School Meals for their child, packed lunch home deliveries will continue for those who requested them.

Please send any enquiries to the Year 9 Manager: matthew.orridge@bulwellacademy.org.uk
or

Thank you for your continued support in a very difficult time.
