🏆 ANOTHER NATIONAL ATTENDANCE AWARD! 🏆

We’re absolutely delighted to announce that we have received our second national attendance award — and this time, it recognises our achievement across the whole academic year 2025–2026, not just the summer term!

Even more fantastic, we have been recognised among the top 25% of similar schools locally for attendance!

This is a brilliant achievement and a testament to the collective effort of our students, families and staff. Strong attendance is key to unlocking opportunities, building confidence and ensuring every young person can thrive. A huge thank you to everyone who has played a part in this success. We are incredibly proud of our school community and what we can achieve together.

Two national awards. One fantastic school community. A shared commitment to making every day count!

🏆 A fantastic achievement for our whole school community! 🏆

We are incredibly proud to have been awarded the National School Attendance Award for the Summer Term, recognising our place in the top 25% of FFT secondary schools across England for attendance.

This is a tremendous achievement and one that belongs to our entire school community. ❤️

Behind this award is the collective effort of our dedicated staff, our committed students, and the parents and carers who work in partnership with us every day to ensure that every young person has the opportunity to thrive.

Excellent attendance is a team effort, built on strong relationships, shared commitment and a belief in the difference that being in school every day can make.

This isn't just an award for our school. It's an award for our community. 👏

A huge thank you to everyone who has played their part. Together, we are making a difference. We all know the impact attendance has on achievement!

Free School Meal Application Extension

We would like to remind families that, from September 2026, all children living in households receiving Universal Credit may be eligible for free school meals, although an application must still be made.

The Department for Education has announced a one-off extension to the free school meals eligibility deadline. Applications and eligibility checks can now be completed up to 2 November 2026, and will still be included in relevant funding calculations.

Applying for free school meals not only benefits your child by ensuring they can access a nutritious meal during the school day, but it can also help families save money. In addition, eligible applications provide valuable additional funding to schools, helping us to support students through a range of educational opportunities and interventions.

If you think your child may be eligible, we strongly encourage you to apply as soon as possible using the Nottinghamshire County Council online application service:

https://t.co/AhXmVUxhGX

To apply, you will need some basic information, including your National Insurance number (or National Asylum Support Service reference number), date of birth and your child's details.

Kind regards,

Sutton Community Academy

💻 It was fantastic to see such hard work, focus and effort from our Year 8 students as they tackled some important computational thinking skills in Computing today!

Students were mastering the art of abstraction, learning how to identify the essential information within a problem, while also developing their skills in creating and refining algorithms.

It was wonderful to see students thinking logically, solving problems and persevering with increasingly challenging concepts. 👏

A fantastic example of our students developing the digital skills, creativity and resilience they need for the future!
