Dear Parent/ Carer,
I hope you and your children are all well as we approach the start of the Autumn Term; we can’t wait to get started again in 2022/23 and look forward to working with you all once more!

I am pleased to confirm that there are no changes to staffing from the end of 2021/22 so we look forward to a smooth and consistent start to learning at the beginning of the year.
Finally, I just want to reiterate how keen we are to get back to work and to support your child- this is after all the core business of our “Safe, Ready, Respectful” ethos and “Edge Pledge” to students. As I am sure you are now aware, we were very proud to win the “Outstanding Support for Students” Award at the Midlands Education Awards at the end of 2021/22 (see: https://www.theedgeacademy.co.uk/midland-education-awards-press-release/ ) and we will continue to drive forward as we embark upon our new three-year plan for “Unleashing Greatness”.
As always, please also feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] if there are any further questions I can assist with in any way regarding this letter.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Wakefield
Principal
