On the last day of the summer term students will be dismissed at 11.45am

This is the planned date of the whole school Sports Day which is held at Ridlins Stadium. Students are to go straight to the venue, not the school.

The date and details will be confirmed nearer to the day.

The school will be closed on Monday 17th April 2023 for staff training

Parent Letter

We are delighted to announce that our Annual Fun Run is back!

After 2 years of virtual fun run we would like to inform you of our 28th Annual Thomas Alleyne

Academy Fun Run will take place on Friday 27th May 2022.

The Fun Run is a fundraising event for the PE department and any funds raised will go

towards improving current facilities or buying new equipment. Fun Run money has paid for

the outdoor table tennis tables, new athletics vests, the bowling machine, trampolines,

refurbishing the weights room and more. It is with this purpose in mind that we are charging

students a £2 entry fee into the race which will cover their non-uniform for the day, as entry

into the best costume competition. Students have also been given sponsorship forms to try

and get friends or relatives to sponsor them in the run. We would appreciate your support in

this very much.

Students are advised to run/ jog in comfortable clothing and as in previous years a number

of students have participated in the fancy dress competition. However, please be advised

that it is essential to wear sensible footwear during the 3 1⁄2 mile run. The route will be

marshalled by staff and sixth form students from the academy. First Aid provision has also

been arranged. A drinks station will be in position on the route where students will be able to

have a cup of water. In addition, students may wish to take their own water, but these drinks

must be in a plastic bottle, not glass or cans.

The day will run as follows:

● Registration at 8.30am

● Period 1 and 2 as normal for all year groups

● Break time will be extended to a 30 minutes

● At 11.30am all students will report to their designated changing areas

● Starting times will be staggered for each year group, beginning at 11.55am

● The Fun Run, finishing at approximately 1pm

● Students will be dismissed from school at 1.30pm.

Could all parents ensure that students are prepared with the necessary sun tan lotion or

waterproofs to combat the ever changing British climate.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs N Hinch

Head of Girls’ Physical Education
