Siobhan Dowd Trust ‘Bookshop Spending Spree’ Grant
The Siobhan Dowd Trust works to give young people the opportunity to read and enjoy literature. The Trust exists to fund any person or groups that:
Take stories to children and young people without stories;
Bring the joy of reading and books to children and young people deprived of access to books and of the opportunity to read;
Fund and support disadvantaged young readers where there is no funding or support.
Throughout the year the Siobhan Dowd Trust run a competition for schools and groups to apply for funds to be spent in their local independent bookshop. This is designed to not only get books (chosen by the pupils) into schools, but to develop the art of browsing in a good bookshop. They also try to support small independent booksellers with this project.
We are delighted to report that GMA have been awarded £500 to spend on books for our pupils – this amount of money will make a huge difference and will help to ensure our young people grow to have a love of books and literature.
Thank you so much to all at the Siobhan Dowd Trust for supporting our Academy.

GMA Primary – Reception Building Work
The Reception at Green Meadows Academy Primary will be completely closed from Monday 17th January 2022 until the end of the half-term break – reopening Monday 28th February.
We are having the Reception area completely renovated and this will mean that there will be strictly no access to, or through, the area by any staff, parents / carers or visitors. There will be no vehicle access around the drive at the front of the school.
Please see the PDF attachment below for details of the work-around solutions, and for key phone numbers in case of questions and queries.

National School Breakfast Programme
Our Academy has joined the Government’s National School Breakfast Programme (NSBP), which is being delivered by the charities Family Action and Magic Breakfast.
As a NSBP partner we are pleased to offer a healthy school breakfast, available to all, and enjoy the benefits that brings, with students settled and ready to learn at the start of the school day.
Available from Monday 10th January 2022
Served in each classroom during Pastoral Time before formal learning starts at 0930.
We offer cereal and toasted bagels that are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals free of charge to all students.
GMA Primary – Update
Unfortunately we have had to take the decision to close the primary site for the rest of this week. I’m sure that you will appreciate how important the health and safety of our school community is, and we apologise that we find ourselves in this position. The class teachers will be in contact with you today, and they will be supplying and setting tasks for the children to complete at home, as appropriate. School will reopen for your children on Monday 4th October – and should there be any change of plans we will of course inform you.
GH, Principal
GMA Primary – Continued Closure
Following a further inspection and assessment of the damage to our school sustained as a result of the recent water ingress we have taken the very difficult decision to remain closed to all pupils at GMA Primary on Wednesday 29th September. Further updates will be communicated to parents and carers as soon as we can. Teachers will be in touch with all families and there will be remote learning in place for pupils to complete at home. Once again, our apologies.
GH, Principal.
GMA Primary – Flood Damage
Due to the heavy rainfall combined with the fact that we are having a new roof fitted, there has been substantial flooding and damage to our primary school. Our primary school, on Bradford Road, will be closed today (27/09) and also tomorrow (28/09). We will be in touch with families on Tuesday 28th with a further update. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause.
GH, Principal.
