Dear Parent/Carer

We are coming to your child’s school in 10th June 2025 to vaccinate the YEAR 8 pupils against HPV.

HPV, or the ‘Human Papillomavirus’ is a common virus that is spread through skin contact. The virus increases the risk of developing some cancers later in life, such as cervical cancer and some cancers of the mouth, throat, anal and genital areas. The evidence is clear that the HPV vaccine protects girls and boys from these HPV-related cancers. 

How to give consent. 

• To go to the website, click on the following link, this will take you to the online HPV vaccination Intent form https://bit.ly/3cmRlkr

• Or access the online consent form by typing the following address into your internet browser: https://www.leedsimmunisations.co.uk/Forms/HPV_p1

• Enter the unique school code for your child’s school. The code for Co-op Academy Leeds is EE137065 (please ensure you enter all letters and numbers).

Important: If you do not wish your child to receive the vaccinations, you are still required to complete the “refusal section” on the form so that we understand your wishes. If we do not receive a consent or refusal form, your child will be given an opportunity to consent for themselves on the day after being assessed by a nurse as Gillick competent to do so.

Providing you enter a correct email address, you will receive an email confirmation when your child has received their vaccination, which will include information and advice about common reactions your child may experience.

For further information about the HPV vaccination including side effects, go to the www.gov.uk website and search “immunisations for young people” or click here

Yours faithfully

School will finish at the earlier time of 1:30 pm on Thursday 13th March in preparation for Year 7, 8 and 9 parents’ evening.

Parents’ Evening will take place between 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm. We’d love to see all our Year 7, 8 and 9 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.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Family,

As we reach the end of this half-term, I want to take a moment to reflect on the progress Year 10 students have made and to thank you for your ongoing support. This has been a crucial period in their academic journey, with students continuing to develop their knowledge, skills, and independence as they work towards their GCSEs. We are incredibly proud of their dedication and resilience, and we appreciate the role you play in encouraging and guiding them through this important stage.

Attendance 

Year 10 has had some positive weeks for attendance, but there is a long way to go. Please remember that we do not authorise days off school for ‘minor childhood ailments’ such as stomach ache, headaches or coughs and colds. Please encourage your child to come into school every day to build resilience. Year 10 attendance so far this Spring Term is lower than the Autumn Term, so we look forward to seeing Year 10 students in school, on time, every day after the Half-Term break. 

Uniform and equipment

A reminder that all students should be wearing a Co-op Academy Leeds branded blazer or v-neck jumper; please ensure your child has one of these items to wear. Additionally, on PE days, students need to wear Co-op Academy Leeds branded PE kit - plain black is not an appropriate substitute for this. Uniform items are available from the Jo Brand Uniform shop. 

All students must be equipped with a pencil case containing black pens, red pens, pencils, and a ruler. These items are available to purchase from the academy for a discounted price. 

Academy return

Co-op Academy Leeds reopens on Monday 24th February at 08.15 am. We are looking forward to welcoming your child back into the academy to start another half term of learning! 

Arbor app 

To access your child’s behaviour log, download the Arbor Parent app using the QR codes. With this, you can see attendance information, praise points, and behaviour points. 

Thank you for your continued support.

Best wishes,

Dear Family,

Another successful half term for our year 7 who accumulated the most of the praise points and homework logs! Well done year 7! Our Year 7 have done us proud again with an exemplary behaviour and attitude with University of Leeds during Dental Workshops for which we have received a lot of praise!

The Academy closes on 14^th February at 3.05 pm and it reopens on Monday 24th February at 08.15 am. We are looking forward to welcoming your child back into the academy to start another half term of learning! A reminder that there is home learning due every day, and the timetable can be found here: www.leeds.coopacademies.co.uk/homelearning.

Attendance

A huge well done to the 35 students who have had 100% attendance and above this half term. A reminder that students need to aim for at least 95% attendance. An attendance of 90% means 117 missed lessons per year, and attendance of 80% means 234 missed lessons per year.

Uniform and equipment

A reminder that all students should be wearing a Co-op Academy Leeds branded blazer or v-neck jumper; please ensure your child has one of these items to wear. Uniform items are available from the Jo Brand Uniform shop.

All students must be equipped with a pencil case containing black pens, red pens, pencils, and a ruler. These items are available to purchase from the academy for a discounted price.
