Our MFL students have been working extremely hard on our new online platform called Languagenut in online lessons and for homework.  At the end of last week, all of their work amazingly rocketed the school up to 2nd place in the entire world for points gained in January so far!  That's 2^nd out of over 3500 schools from across the world.  A fantastic achievement from our languages students. Keep up the great work!

School is open to ALL STUDENTS

WINTER WEATHER UPDATES

We have had bad weather arrangements in place for many years, for the safety of students, parents and the staff. However, it is our experience that as soon as snow arrives, the school switchboard becomes jammed with messages and queries from anxious parents. This not only overwhelms our support staff, but also prevents bus companies from being able to get through and update us about any changes to student collection arrangements. 

We would therefore ask that parents do NOT phone unless it is an emergency, but to work with the arrangements set out below. Whatever the weather conditions, please always assume that the school will be kept fully open as normal.  

IN THE EVENT OF SNOW CLOSING THE SCHOOL: 

Parents will receive a text from 'Woodkirk Academy' and your full name will appear in the message. There will also be  notification added to the website. In addition, further information can be heard on BBC Radio Leeds.  Every effort will be made for a message to be posted on the website before 7am should the school be forced to close. If parents do not receive a closure text or there is not a message on the website, the Academy is OPEN.

Live lessons will replace face-to-face learning via Microsoft Teams.
