Letter to Parents - City Academy Bristol

12^th October 2021

Dear Parents & Carers

I just wanted to take this opportunity to give parents some key information and updates as follows:

Uniform

As an academy we would like to continue with our focus on expectations. We have some students who are in the correct uniform every day and are fully meeting our expectations. We would now like to focus on the students who are not arriving to school in the correct uniform.

All students are required to wear the following items of school uniform:

Blazer with Academy Logo – must be ordered online
Tie – must be ordered online or purchased at City Academy reception
White shirt/blouse – can be purchased anywhere
Black Trousers or skirt – can be purchased anywhere
Black shoes (Not trainers) – can be purchased anywhere

Due to having windows open we are aware that it can be colder in the classrooms. Students are able to wear a City Academy logo jumper, but this is optional. If students want to wear a t shirt under their shirt it needs to be a plain white one.

Our online uniform shop can be found here: https://www.pbuniform-online.co.uk/cityacademy

Last day of term

I’d like to remind parents that we have two teacher training (INSET) days taking place on the 21^st and 22^nd October. Therefore, the last day of term for students is Wednesday 20^th October.

Breakfast

We are now able to offer a free breakfast (bagels and cereal) to students, which is available to all year groups in the Venue between 7.45am and 8.30am. Students can access this via the side gate next to our main car park.

Parent Pay

Thank you to all the parents who have signed up for an account. We need all parents to sign up, even if your child doesn’t have school meals. This is because not only is this a payment system for things such as meals, snacks and trips, it will soon become the main way in which we communicate to parents, so you must have an account to receive communications from school.

We are no longer able to accept cash, and the top up machines have been removed. You have been sent letters with your child’s login, if you need another copy, please email [email protected] and we can send you the details.

Best wishes

Ben Tucker

Interim Principal, City Academy
