Dear parent/guardian,
It is time for your child’s yearly flu vaccination!
Wednesday 13th November
Please complete the Flu Vaccination Consent Form here…
www.leedsimmunisations.co.uk/Forms/Flu
The code for your child’s school is: EE137065
If you do not want your child to receive the vaccination, it is important to complete the refusal section on the form.
We are thrilled to announce that our school has received the prestigious International School Award from the British Council! This recognition celebrates our successful partnership with Collège in Valenciennes, France, where our Year 7 pupils have been exchanging letters and discussing their local areas with their French counterparts.
This project has been a fantastic opportunity for our students to build cultural awareness, practice language skills, and foster international friendships. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and enthusiasm throughout the project!
A huge thank you to all our staff, students, and our friends in Valenciennes for making this possible. Together, we are building a brighter, more connected future!

Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope this letter finds you and your family well. As we prepare for the upcoming academic year, we would like to inform you of some optional changes to our school uniform policy that will take effect from September.
After careful consideration and consultation with students, parents, and staff, we have decided to update our school uniform to ensure that it continues to reflect our academy values of pride, equity, and hard work. These changes aim to provide a more comfortable and practical attire for our students, whilst maintaining a smart and consistent appearance.
From September students may wear a Co-op Academy Leeds branded jumper instead of a blazer if they choose to. The jumpers are available from Jo Brand and cost £19.99.
Additionally, we have relaxed our rules on footwear and from September students may now wear trainers to school provided that they are all black.
Please see the attached leaflet for more information about jumpers and school shoes.
Our expectations around PE kit remain the same; students must wear their Co-op Academy Leeds PE kit on the days they have PE. Other items of clothing are not acceptable, this includes other branded sportswear.
It is important that all students arrive at school each day with a bag and pencil case with equipment; equipment is available to buy in school should your child need it, but students are expected to arrive at lessons with equipment and will be sanctioned where this is not the case.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation as we strive to enhance our academy community. We look forward to seeing our students proudly wearing their uniform in September.
Best Wishes
Natalie Jones
Headteacher

Dear parent/guardian,
School will finish at the earlier time of 1:30 pm on Thursday 4th July in preparation for Year 10 and Year 11 parents’ evening.
Parents’ Evening will take place between 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm. We’d love to see all our Year 10 and Year 11 parents and carers there.
Your child should begin making appointments with subject teachers in lessons. Please help them by making sure they know what times you are available to attend.
Best wishes,
Miss Pearson
Assistant Headteacher
Dear Parent/Carer
As you may already be aware, GCSE results day is Thursday 22 August 2024. All students are welcome to collect their results from school between 10am-11.30pm in the Library. Students must enter and leave the Academy via the library gate.
We are confident that everyone’s hard work during Year 11 will have paid off. Many teachers and other professionals will be present to help celebrate with your young people as they look forward to the next stage in their education and the world of work. Please be assured, however, that we will also have in attendance Miss Williams, our careers advisor, who will be available to support any students with post-16 questions, along with a few colleges.
If someone is collecting your results on your behalf you need to complete the form on the back of this letter and they need to bring it with them on the day. Please ensure they bring written permission from you and their own photographic identification, for example a driving licence or passport. Please note that if your nominated person comes and does not have this letter, they will not be permitted to collect your results.
Results not collected will be posted to your home address on Thursday 22 August. If you believe the home address we hold for you may not be correct, please contact the academy as a matter of urgency.
As an Academy we celebrate achievements and successes, and this may involve publishing photographs of students with their results on social media. No student names will be shown or shared. If you do not want your child’s photo and results to be shared on social media, please can you put this in writing and send this in to school for the attention of the Examinations Officer.
Finally, to all those parents and carers whose children will be leaving the Academy, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the support shown to the school throughout their time with us. We wish your child every success for the future.
Best Wishes,
Miss N Jones
Headteacher
