Dear Year 8 Parents, We have pleasure in inviting you to Parents’ Evening on Thursday 3 April 2014 from 4.30 – 7.30 pm.

The evening is designed to enable you to speak to all of your child's subject teachers, so that you can discuss their progress since the start of Year 8.  We feel the evening will be most beneficial if your child attends with you, so that they can be involved in the meetings.

As the next Skills Day draws closer staff are busily preparing for the day on the 17^th March.

With end of Year exams in sight, Year Seven will be working on developing revision skills for the day looking at developing techniques and strategies to help them revise successfully through a range of exciting and stimulating activities. 

In July 2014 17 students are flying off to Uzbekistan on our latest World Challenge adventure. We will be helping a local community milk goats, fetch water and complete various tasks around the village. In total they need to raise £40,000. 

We have spent two mornings at Marks Farm Tesco and raised over £1100. Our students were an absolute credit to the school, they were polite, helpful and showed real enthusiasm for their task and talking to members of the public about their upcoming expedition.

I am delighted to confirm that Alec Hunter Academy has been successfully redesignated as a Healthy School for the next two years. Although we had previously achieved Healthy School status as Alec Hunter Humanities College, schools must continue to evidence that they meet the required standards in order to retain the title.

With year 11 GCSE exams right around the corner its time to really focus on your revision.

The school is offering extra support in the form of after school revision classes as well as special holiday sessions.
