Just goes to show where their priorities lie.  Academic studies or a wee game of footie. HappyHappy  I wont speculate for whose benefit the pupils are being denied their education though.

It's a shocking state of affairs but really just a sign of the times. Academies can do pretty much whatever they like with the school day and holiday dates.

Now, of course, if the school was still under the control of the local authority things might be very different! Wink

done a bit more fishing, the school was inspected in Nov 2013 and was deemed to 'require improvment' grade 3, and the previous inspection was also a grade 3, ie no improvment. However within 2 and a half years, in March 2016 it has been classed as good. This is excellent progress is so short a time. many of you won't be bothered to read the newest inspection report but its seems to be down to the head and the staff. Some quotes from ofsted below

Maybe they deserve an early finish?

 

 

Under the dynamic leadership of the Principal,

the academy is improving rapidly.

He provides a strong direction for the academy

and is ably assisted by a highly effective senior

leadership team.

 

 

Pupils behave well around the academy.

Most display positive attitudes to learning and

clearly want to do well.

 

 

From their starting points, pupils make good

progress in their subjects

as teachers motivate them to learn and succeed.

One pupil remarked,

‘I wouldn’t have survived in the academy

if it wasn’t for the help I’ve received. It’s been great!’
