Home Academy Partnership

The home academy relationship is vital and we work very hard to build a strong relationship with our parents.  We endeavour to communicate effectively with parents and here are some of the ways we do this:

  • Regular updates providing information on events, and activities on recent progress within the academy, as well as celebrating the achievements of our students.
  • The academy website - www.belvedereacademy.net
  • Half-termly newsletter
  • Regular grade cards and a full written report each academic year.
  • An initial Year 7 Tutor based Parents’ Evening in the first term, followed by a full Parents’ Evening later in the year.
  • Principal’s letters
  • Termly E-zine
  • Parental Forum

Parental Forum

The Parental Forum is a chance to hear about what is happening in the academy and to have your say.  All parents are welcome to join the meetings and to contribute ideas.
