What we want for your child

We aim to empower our students to become the best version of themselves.

Working together

We are keen to work with you to meet your child’s needs and objectives.

We believe that clear, open, and consistent two-way communication is key to us all supporting your child.

We will keep you informed on your child’s progress on a daily basis. If we have any specific concerns about your child’s behaviour, attendance or performance we will contact you in a timely manner.

If you want to talk to us about your child please get in touch. You can:

Email us at: info@arco.academy

Attendance

We would like to ask for your commitment to ensure your child is present at school, is on time, and is ready to learn. We appreciate your support in helping your child understand the importance of punctuality and being prepared, not only at school, but in the future world of work.

Please do not book holidays during term-time and be aware that some public examinations also fall during Arco Academy holidays.

Your child’s education

We aim to help each student achieve the best results possible. Each student arrives at Arco at a different level in their education so we provide a tailored programme of study, based on each student’s needs, and work with them to achieve the best results they can. We will provide a progress report on educational progress every half term.

What we expect from your child

At Arco Academy we live by our values. We expect everyone to have high standards, take personal responsibility and demonstrate professionalism and integrity at all times.

We want our students to care for and respect each other, their teachers, support staff, visitors and other site users, as well as to the environment and local community within which everyone is working.

You can find out more about our culture here.

We have a clear behaviour policy that outlines our Student Code of Conduct, explaining our expectations of your child’s behaviour in more detail.  The policy can be found here. You will find details of our dress code in the policy document.

What makes us different – sports participation

Healthy mind and body – we believe that sports participation is an important part of your child’s personal development and, as well as their normal lessons, they are expected to take part in PE lessons every day.

Our sports programmes are designed to help them improve their educational performance and develop critical life skills including goal setting, discipline, teamwork, resilience, focus and hard work.

We don’t expect everyone to be a top class athlete but encourage everyone to try their best, reach their full potential and have fun at the same time.
