From James Newman (Principal)

Dear Students, Families, and Staff,

As we reach the end of another busy and successful term, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for your hard work, dedication, and support. It has been a term filled with achievements, growth, and special moments that remind us of the strength of our school community. I would like to thank everyone who has attended the recent festive shows, performed so well by our students.

The holiday season is a time to reflect on the values of kindness, generosity, and togetherness. These values shine brightly within our school, whether it is through the efforts of our students in helping one another, the commitment of our staff to every child’s success, or the incredible support from our families. As always, we are staggered at the generosity of the school community, the recent Reindeer run this year has already raised over £2000 and this will help some of our students attend a residential trip and make really special memories. Many thanks for all of your charitable support throughout the year.

Although Abbey Hill Academy will be closed until Monday 6th January 2025, there is information regarding local and national support helplines on our website and these be found using the following link Information for Parents | Horizons Specialist Academy Trust - Providing infinite opportunities. Christmas is also a time when students access online devices, and again, should you need any support regarding E-Safety, please use this website link for advice and guidance parent-e-safety-advice | Abbey Hill Academy

As we prepare to celebrate Christmas and enjoy the well-deserved break, I encourage everyone to take time to rest, recharge, and spend time with loved ones. Let us also take a moment to be grateful for the year we’ve had as well as remembering members of our community who are no longer with us, along with their family and friends.

On behalf of everyone at Abbey Hill Academy, I wish you a joyful and peaceful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Thank you for being such an important part of our school family.

Warm regards,

James Newman

Principal
