Etonbury Academy
We hope you have all had a healthy and well deserved Summer break. It’s great to have the children back in school, welcome our new Year 5s into ETA Juniors, Year 7s into the Secondary School, and a number of new students across the upper years. Over the Summer further improvements have been made on the site with refurbished toilets, more water fountains, new changing rooms and painting all around. Supported by our parents and staff, we were delighted to be able to get the majority of our students covid tested in school prior to them starting back on their first day. We are enormously grateful for this support which enabled all our children to go straight to their new Form group, meet their Form Tutor and fellow Tutees, giving them the best, and most normal, start to their school year.
Our Year 7s have made a brilliant start to the Secondary School, many of whom had attended the Summer School during August. During the Summer School they had opportunities to explore the main school and navigate themselves to areas and subjects without the challenge of getting to lessons on time! They cooked, explored sciences, played games and wore constant smiles throughout their week. Many thanks to Mr Baga, Assistant Principal, who gave up his holiday to give them this great start. The Year 5 children are settling in well to ETA Juniors, enjoying the facilities and open spaces. They are particularly enjoying their roast dinners, homemade curries and of course the fish and chip Fridays. Many have been excited to join in conversations with our catering contractor’s in-house Chef to help develop the menu even further. It’s really exciting to also see so many signing up to the residential adventure trip going out this term.
We are looking forward to reporting back next month following the election of our new Student Leadership Team. We always have a fantastic number of students who want to contribute to the success of our school, support our strong values and who really care about Etonbury. Soon we will be welcoming parents considering their child's next move, whether it is to start in Year 5 in September 2022 or looking at their options for moving into our Secondary School starting in Year 7. We will be holding open evenings and providing tours to help them make this important decision, and our experienced Primary, GCSE and A-Level teachers will be available to help them with any questions. Please keep an eye out on social media and local press for more updates.
