From the The Sutton Academy
It gives me great pleasure to write to you as The Sutton Academy's principal.
In order to help our students succeed to the fullest, The Sutton Academy is lucky to have a highly qualified teaching and support staff.
We offer a fascinating learning environment that goes beyond the classroom.
Our core conviction at The Sutton Academy is that every child deserves access to a top-notch education.
We hold all of our employees and students to the greatest standards and urge our young people to have the highest goals for themselves.
Visitors frequently remark on the welcoming atmosphere in the academy, and in the most recent inspection, Ofsted gave the academy a "excellent" rating for personal development, behaviour, and welfare.
Homework is an essential component of the educational process, an extension of the school curriculum, and a tool for students to deepen and reinforce their understanding.
I kindly ask for your assistance in making sure that your child recognises the value of consistently completing assigned homework and project work.
I'd want to use this chance to extend an open invitation to parents to meet with me and learn more about my plans for the school.
To make an appointment, kindly contact the academy.
