Each class has a ‘Meet the Teacher’ meeting at the beginning of each academic year to outline:
Academy meals are sourced and delivered from Towngate primary school. The meals are served in the Dining Room. Special dietary requirements e.g. due to cultural, religious or medical needs can be catered for by special arrangement.
We are a cashless school.
Our school meal provider is Dolce and SchoolGrid is the method of payment.
In our Academy, we aim to provide, for all partners:
We believe that children should feel a sense of ‘belonging’ to our Academy and that they should wear their uniform with pride. We also think that children should feel equal, and an Academy uniform contributes to this. Having a uniform also clearly states what the governors, staff and parents feel to be appropriate clothing for the Academy.
It also helps to clearly identify pupils when travelling to or from the Academy on Academy visits – a positive safety factor. It is an expectation that all children wear the official Academy logo jumper/cardigan and a requirement when representing the Academy on official visits. Our Academy uniform is detailed in our parent handbook below.
Please read all the information carefully and feel free to contact us on 01924 679680 or email gca-enquiries@ipmat.co.uk if you have any further questions.
