It has been yet another fantastic term at the Brian Clarke Academy. Students are living the mission statement of Ambition, Community and Excellence daily. We are delighted with how polite and well-mannered students are around the new school.

Please read the Newsletter to see how the students got on in their final term this year.

A Message from Miss Robinson – Head of Year 7

“Myself and the Y7 form tutors have been overwhelmed with the amazing Leadership booklets students have handed in. They have clearly worked so hard on these throughout the year, and we are so proud of them. They have grown so much individually and we look forward to developing leadership skills in year 8. “

At Brian Clarke, we are proud of our reading culture and how much our students simply love to read.

Over summer, we are setting all of our current year 7 a Summer Reading Challenge to complete before they join us in September as Year 8.

The Summer Reading Challenge is to:

1) Read two books

2) Create either a book review or creative piece about one of the books

3) Read four non-fiction articles

All students are expected to engage with the Summer Reading Challenge, and hand their completed booklet, along with any creative pieces/book reviews, to their Form Tutor on the first day back in September.

All students have been given a booklet, and opportunities prior to finishing school to take out at least two books. Tutors will also launch the Challenge with students in Form Time (there is a link to the Tutor presentation below).

If your child would like access to more books over summer, there are many fantastic libraries across Oldham, which can be found here: Find a library | Oldham Council. It is free for anyone to join our local libraries and take out books.
