For students Accessing Workington Academy Hub Provision from Monday 04 January 2021
You may well be aware that this evening the Secretary of State for Education has announced a material change to the arrangements made for the start of term.
The Government yesterday afternoon updated its guidance regarding the start of term in January and has advised that secondary schools in England should not fully re-open to all students and staff following the Christmas holidays until Monday 11 January.
Once again, it has been a very busy term at Workington Academy. Despite all the challenges facing the students this term, student behaviour, attitudes and responsibility have been exemplary and in spite of many different and sometimes difficult circumstances, there is much to celebrate across all year groups.
Year 11 students have now completed their first set of trial examinations and have generally worked very hard under difficult circumstances.
Please be advised that we have had a further confirmed case of Covid-19 in year 11.

As you will be aware, new restrictions have been placed across England from today due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
As we near the end of what has been an unusual half term, I would like to thank students, parents, carers and the whole community for the way in which they have tackled the challenges of this last few months in dealing with Coronavirus and the many issues it creates.
After our first month back I thought it would be a good opportunity to remind you of our attendance expectations for all students, as well as our policies and procedures in relation to student absence.
