March 2022
Dear Sir/Madam,
Please allow me to introduce myself as Mr Dalowsky, the Headteacher of The St Lawrence Academy who are part of the St Lawrence Academies Trust. I am writing to tell you how pleased and delighted we are that NAME has been offered a place with us, starting in September 2022. We were again over subscribed and have increased our number of admissions to 165 due to the demand from our local community. Placing your trust in us as community school is both humbling and deeply satisfying.
It is a very exciting time when your child starts secondary school. The schools are larger, the buildings are bigger and sometimes this can be quite daunting. Please try not to worry about this as we have wonderful transition events planned and led by our brilliant Achievement Team Leader (ATL) Mr Cretney and supported by my Deputy Headteacher for Inclusion & Achievement, Mrs West.
CHILD will be invited to attend our Year 6 induction days here at the academy on Thursday 30th June and Friday 1st July. On Thursday 30th June there will also be an evening event where you as parents, carers or guardians can also attend and meet the tutor and house team. Further details of this will be provided nearer the time.
Our uniform of which we are very proud is an expectation here at the academy. The uniform policy is attached for you to read and digest. The main items can be purchased at Shah’s on West Street and also online from Price & Buckland.
You will have so many questions I am sure. There are a number of ways in which you can read information about us and see the great work that we do. Please ensure you make yourselves familiar with our new website, our facebook and twitter sites whilst also making a note of the enquiries email and telephone number too. These can be found below.
Good luck to NAME for the rest of their Year 6 journey at their primary school. We will be making visits over the coming weeks and months but if you have any questions, or would like to speak to us about the transition process please do not hesitate to contact me or one of the transition team :
Mr Matt Cretney – Year 7 Achievement Team Leader – [email protected]
Mrs Helen West – Deputy Headteacher – [email protected]
Mrs Kate Williams – SENDCo – [email protected]
Mr Phill Dalowsky – Headteacher – [email protected]
Yours Sincerely
Phill Dalowsky
Headteacher
| Our uniform is how the local community recognises and makes judgements about us as an Academy and so it is important that students always present themselves in a positive disciplined way. We want all students to be proud to wear the uniform and have a sense of pride that they belong to The St Lawrence Academy. The uniform policy supports the ethos of the Academy where we expect all students to have respect for each other and for their appearance. Students are our ambassadors and this applies as much to their appearance going to and from the Academy as when they are studying in the Academy.
A smart appearance will be expected at all times and parents / carers are asked to ensure that this is respected. Students are expected to wear the correct uniform at all times. The school uniform includes:
Personal Appearance
Coats : Students may wear their coat or zipped hooded jackets when arriving to tutor time but must remove it immediately when they get to their seat. They are not permitted to be worn around the academy. Students may wear their coat when they are on their way outside at break/lunch. Hoodies: hoodies are not academy uniform and should not be worn under or over blazers inside/outside the building, however students are permitted to wear their TSLA hoodie at break/lunch if a student has a split PE lesson . The Academy reserves the right to send a student home if they are not in the correct uniform. The academy commits itself to creating an environment for everyone that is characterised by our core values of Truth, Justice, Forgiveness, Generosity and Respect. These values have been used to determine this policy. This policy is updated annually. |
