CEO's Update

This term has been filled with hard work, dedication, and many moments of pride across our Multi-Academy Trust. Whether it has been through academic progress, participation in sports and the arts, or contributions to charity and community initiatives, our students continue to inspire us with their talents and commitment.

I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our staff, whose unwavering dedication ensures that every child has the best possible opportunities to thrive and succeed. It is through their professionalism and passion that we continue to foster an environment where everyone can reach their potential.

Thank you to our parents and carers, for your continued support and partnership in your children’s education. Your involvement is crucial, and we greatly value the role you play in nurturing a sense of belonging and achievement for every child within our Trust.

As we look ahead to the summer term, there is much to be excited about. From upcoming events and enrichment opportunities to important milestones and transitions, we anticipate another busy and rewarding chapter. We are committed to maintaining our focus on excellence while also embracing the joy and curiosity that make learning so impactful.

For now, I wish you all a restful and enjoyable break with your families.

Very best wishes

Principal's Update

As we approach the Easter break, I want to take this opportunity to reflect on a fantastic term at Coritani Academy and share some important updates with you all.

Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to our dedicated staff, hardworking learners, and supportive parents and carers who make our school community so special.

This term has been filled with achievements, progress, and exciting opportunities for our learners. you can read about our adventures in this newsletter but particular highlights have been our Trip to Westminster to meet the MPs and the visit of Prison, Me, No Way.

Looking ahead as we move into the summer term, we are excited about the opportunities ahead. Exam preparations will be a key focus for many learners, and we will continue to provide the best support to help them achieve their goals. 

The Easter holiday is a time for rest and rejuvenation. I encourage all learners to take a well-earned break, spend time with family, and recharge for the term ahead. For those revising for exams, remember to balance study time with relaxation and self-care.

Finally, I want to wish all our families a joyful and restful Easter. Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to welcoming learners back on Tuesday the 22nd April.

Dave Flowitt

Executive Principal
