Arrangements for the start of the 2019-20 Academic year
As we reach the end of the summer break, please find below the arrangements for students starting with us or returning to the academy for the 2019-20 academic year.
We have inset days on Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd September.
We are excited to welcome our new year 7 students on Wednesday 4th September, with all other students (years 8, 9, 10 and 11) joining us on Thursday 5th September.
Students are expected to arrive on-site by 8:15.
Enjoy the final few days of your break, we are looking forward to seeing you all, refreshed and reinvigorated for another successful year at the academy.
Calling all former students!
If you are a former student of Outwood Academy Adwick, we want to hear from you!
Your experiences since leaving could help to inspire our current students in making decisions about their future. We’d love you to join our alumni network and stay connected with the Academy.
We’ve partnered with the national education charity Future First, who specialise in helping academies like ours to stay connected with their former students.
You can choose how and when you help – perhaps you can act as a career and education role model, provide work experience or become a mentor.
It doesn’t matter when you left us, whether you’re in further education or employment, whether you still live nearby or have moved further away, there are still ways you can help.
In order to sign up, just follow this link and fill in the online form – we promise it will only take a couple of minutes:
