Parents are welcome at Unity City Academy at any time, preferably by appointment, since the staff's teaching commitment is regarded as a priority and we would not want you to have a wasted journey.
The Academy takes pride in the fact that it has always had close links with parents. Communication between the Academy and home takes various forms: Academy Newsletter, letters, telephone conversations and Parents' Forums. There is an answer phone facility outside Academy hours. Also, each year you will receive a copy of the Trustees' Report to Parents. This gives important information on the progress of the Academy, its staff and students, over the previous twelve months. Also included are such items as examination results and attendance figures together with national comparisons.
To enable you to monitor the work your child is doing at the Academy, each student is required to have a Student Planner which you should ask to see regularly so that you know what self study is being set each day and you can check that it is being completed. You should ask to see your child's books when they are at home. If you wish to make comments in the planner please do so. It is also helpful to us if you initial each page as you check it. Should you feel that self study is not being set as appropriate, please contact your child's Personal Tutor or Progress Manager.
The Academy is supported in its endeavours by Friends in Unity of which all parents are automatically members. Organised by a committee of parents and some members of staff, Friends holds events throughout the year to raise funds for the Academy and to offer parents an opportunity to meet together informally for social activities.
Finally, parents are advised that the Academy operates a complete no smoking policy. Parents are requested not to smoke anywhere inside the Academy perimeter. Parents will appreciate that this policy is intended to send a clear health message to all our students.
