S2 parents evening will take place on Tuesday 21st November and is an opportunity for you to engage with teaching staff about your child's progress. In order to allow Parents/Carers to make appointments with their child's teachers, we will be using the online platform Parents Booking (parents-booking.co.uk). For more details on how to access this please see the letter below:
Our supported study schedule and assessment calendar until January are now available to view. Please note that the assessment calendar is not complete as some subjects have not finalised their assessment dates.
Students can access Tree House, an online learning platform, from their homes and it is jam-packed with materials and videos. The school has purchased a subscription so that students can work remotely. Simply click the following link, choose "Login" in the top right corner of the page, and enter the username and password that has been sent to parents via a letter.
Some subjects have also added resources that can be found here. Senior pupils can access work from their teachers via Glow. Unfortunately following discussions the Council has held with the project delivery partner hub Southwest, and their main Contractor for the Campus, Morgan Sindall, we have been informed that the building will not be ready for pupils on Thursday 24 August 2023. To give time to complete final aspects of Health & Safety compliance and certification, as a precaution, the Campus will now open for learning and teaching on Monday 28 August 2023 for primary and secondary pupils. Please read the attached letter for all details.
As the school will be closed, our careers advisor Yvonne won’t be in school this year at results time, pupils can still contact the exam result helpline, or the Ayr centre if they need help.
After the summer holidays the demolition of the current Carrick Academy will begin. During this 8-month period there will no Parental / Carer parking within the Campus grounds at drop off and pick up times. The limited space available during the demolition phase will be for dedicated school transport vehicles and staff parking. We would recommend that Parents and Carers spend some time reading the documents below as they explain where our young people should enter the Campus from, walking routes to specific entrances which facilitate pupil segregation, park and stride options within the town and school transport drop off / pick up locations.
The UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) works with schools in the UK to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. Our Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.
The Award recognises a school’s achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into practice within the school and beyond. Carrick Academy has already achieved Bronze status Bronze: Rights Committed means there is evidence that: We have introduced the RRSA Three Strands into our school community Our school’s senior leadership team (SLT) understands what is involved in the Award and is committed to embarking on the UNICEF UK Rights Respecting journey The right foundations are in place for our school’s journey to the second stage of the Award, Silver: Rights Aware Carrick Academy is now ready to embark on the journey towards Silver.
