The Autumn term is underway and the children have made a great start to school life. We have all started school with a renewed vigour, following what was a very tough 2021 – 2022 - not only for us as a school community, but as a nation. As always, our prime aim is to keep our children and our school community safe.

We will continue to place an enormous focus on ensuring our children receive the very best education, so that they keep up with national standards and in many cases surpass national standards. We are always very proud of their hard work and endeavours.

This year we have made a substantial investment in renewing our reading books. This includes both books for our class reading corner and books to be used as home / school readers. At Stockwell Academy we place a high regard on reading and the impact reading has on language acquisition and the wider learning curriculum. Our intention is to make sure that every child that attends our school becomes a fluent reader.

Being a good reader will equip our pupils with the skills to reach their full potential. This will be enhanced by working closely with our parents and carers, whose continued support over the years has proved crucial to the progress and attainment of their children.

I am thoroughly looking forward to this term and academic year.

Mr C J Coulter
