All students are issued with a diary and are expected to carry their diary at all times in the Academy.  The diaries are important documents: they contain information for students and parents, timetables and pages on which students can record homework activities and a summary of their learning in each subject each week.  Parents are asked to sign their son or daughter’s diary at the end of each week, and if they have any comments or notes, they can make these in the diary.  Parents and Form Tutors use these as a way of communication, and it works well
