Newsletter 18th September

Headteacher Message

Mr. Worthington

We have continued to make a successful start to the school year.

Teachers have been encouraging pupils to develop the habits that will place them on a path to success. We ask for the ongoing support of our parents and carers by making sure children are in school every day, on time and with the correct equipment and uniform.

We have now published the school’s extra curricular timetable. We encourage all pupils to take advantage of these opportunities and to attend at least one extra-curricular activity. Please see the timetable in the main body of the newsletter.

We are holding a Post-16 event (Thursday 21st September 4pm-6pm) for our Year 9, 10 and 11 pupils and their families, to meet representatives from post-16 providers (colleges, sixth forms, apprenticeship employers), get guidance around courses and options beyond DTA. Your child will also be able to access advice and support around choosing pathways and completing applications to post-16 providers, including apprenticeships. It is extremely important that all of our KS4 pupils attend! More information on the event is included within this week’s newsletter.

Please note that next Thursday (28th September) is our Open Evening for prospective pupils and their families. The evening will provide an insight into Dean Trust Ardwick and what we have to offer our young people. Please attend if you have a child in Year 5 or Year 6, we would love to welcome you out school.

Additionally, we ask that you share the event details with your friends and family. Please find the details on our Open Evening flyer, enclosed inside. Please note that in order to prepare for this event we will finish school at the slightly earlier time of 2.10pm on this day.

Finally, we are now on Instagram! Please follow our page @dt_ardwick for regular updates
