The Open Academy
Important dates to note
The start of the new school term is just around the corner and it is a big year for the Open Academy. Moving in to the new building is both exciting and challenging and as such the decision has been taken to start the new school year in a different way.
A staggered start will help students get to know the layout of the building and how the new security and safety features of the building work. The following dates and times outline when each of the year groups are expected in the new building. We are looking forward to starting the new term and making the 2010/2011 school year the best year the Academy has ever seen. | Monday 6th September |
