28th March 2025 Dear Parent Carers, Weekly Update: 28/03/25 I hope this update finds you well. It has been great to enjoy some brighter weather this week now that Spring has officially started! Students and staff are looking forward to their well-deserved Easter holiday, finishing school on Friday 4th April. I hope to see some Parent Carers in school next Friday, as we invite families in to take part in our Culture and Diversity Day – please get in touch if you require further information about this day. March for March The Shaw Education Trust is now 10 years old! To celebrate this milestone, the Trust organised for the schools to ‘March’ the distance of all of the schools – from Birmingham to Bury! We took a group to the Arboretum Park, and walked a few laps with students from Ivy House School and St Andrew’s Academy – Martin came along too! Please see the flyer for some great photos of our march! Student Progress Reports The Spring Progress Report has been sent home with students in Years 7-13 today.
