Please find below a copy of the Principal’s End of Year Letter, sent to all families this week.

Have a fantastic summer break.

End of Year Letter GH

Ahead of the forecasted heatwave for next week, we have written a letter highlighting some information and advice around how we plan to manage the heat in school and to request your help with a few points in order to keep all students as comfortable and safe as possible during the heatwave.

The letter has been emailed home, but can also be found in the Parents & Carers – Letters Home section of our website.

This year, due to an increase in pupil numbers we are going to hold separate events for our primary and secondary schools.  This will mean that we will hold four productions, and that way more of you can come and enjoy the music, dancing and performances!

The dates are as follows;

GMA Primary, Rawdon Partnership & Brudenell Partnership

Performance at GMA Primary School, Bradford Road, Guiseley LS20 8PP

Tuesday 12^th July 1.30-2.30pm and Wednesday 13^th July 10.30-11.30am

GMA Secondary and Post-16, Benton Partnership & Allerton Partnership

Performance at GMA Secondary School, Back Lane, Guiseley LS20 8LS

Thursday 14^th July 10.00-11.00am and Friday 15^th July 10.00-11.00am

A reminder that all of our sites (GM and Partnerships) will be closed for all pupils on Friday 17th June for a full Staff Training Day.

We will contact Transport so that there is no further action for parents and carers to take.

From Monday 21st March, the main landline phone number in to Green Meadows Academy will change.

Our new phone number will be 0113 8313 222

Please update your records, your phone-book and the contacts in your mobile phone – our old number will cease to exist and you will need to use 0113 8313 222 in order to contact us.

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.

The Reception at Green Meadows Academy Primary will be completely closed from Monday 17^th January 2022 until the end of the half-term break – reopening Monday 28^th 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.
