Re: Strike Day: 2nd March 2023
We are writing to inform you of the arrangements for Thursday 2nd March 2023.
As you are aware, there is an Industrial Teacher strike on Thursday 2nd March across London.
Due to significantly reduced staffing, we will be running a limited programme for invited students only. These students will receive a separate message inviting them in with details of their arrival and departure time.
Therefore, the school will be closed to all students, unless you have received a separate message inviting your young person in.
Hub students
The school day will start at 9.00am for those invited into the hub, finishing by 1.50pm.
Year 11s
We are determined to ensure there are minimal disruptions to the Year 11 Mock examinations, therefore ALL YEAR 11 students, will be expected to attend school; being on site at the normal time of 8:25am in order to sit their Maths Pre-public exams in the morning.
If your child also studies French or has been invited to attend a 6th form face to face interview, he will remain on site until the afternoon.
Year 13s
The invited year 13s will be onsite from 9am to 1pm
We will be providing lunch and/or break for students invited in, but normal payment arrangements will apply.
Additionally, any student not invited in for the above activities who is eligible for free school meals will be able to attend the school from 11.45am to 12.45pm to collect a take-away lunch.
Please look out for messages soon from us to check whether your son/daughter has been invited in.
Mr Lawrence
Head of School

Meet Jasper! - a former Student at Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form.
Jasper talks about the extra support he received at Sixth Form particularly how our wonderful receptionist Mrs Hawgood has helped him, teachers who have encouraged him to perform better at school and advice he would give to new Sixth Form Students.
We have a long and proud history at Woolwich Polytechnic, having educated local students for over 100 years: we have been a technical school; reported as the most improved boy’s school in the country; a community school and now an academy; a single school and now the founding ‘brother’ to our sister school, Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls. We have year-on-year exam results at A Level and BTEC that make us, our students and their families rightly proud. Yet our relentless focus is upon the futures of our current students as we counsel them through their educational careers to be the most successful version of themselves. This is evident in year-on-year increases in students accessing courses at Oxbridge, in medicine and at prestigious Russell Group universities, as well as high-end apprenticeships in finance.
Dear Parents and Carers,
Please find attached the Year 13 Pre-Public Exam (PPE) Timetable for March 2023, this timetable includes timings for Warm-Up Sessions.
Polite reminder, there is no study leave for Year 13 during the PPEs, we believe pupils benefit from attending all lessons and using Independent Study productively. Pupils will also be required to follow Sixth Form Uniform Policy, this includes wearing their lanyard.
Attendance to exams is compulsory, parents/carers must provide medical evidence for any missed exam.
There will be a Year 13 Parents Evening on Wednesday 19 April to provide feedback on PPEs.
Thank you for your support.
