Home-Academy Communication

We try hard to ensure excellent communication links between the academy and students’ homes. As well as contact via the telephone or in person if there is an issue, we also use:

• The SIMS Parent app, which enables parents to check the attendance, behaviour and progress of students ‘live’ online, and SIMS InTouch, which allows us to communicate with parents via text message or email.

• Regular news updated added to the academy website.

• Parents’ evenings, both to provide parents with feedback from teachers about progress and information on key events such as choosing GCSE subjects.

• Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

• Progress updates and reports.

• Show My Homework – a system to enable parents to view the homework set by teachers.
