This week, assemblies have taken place for our Year 7 pupils to inform them about the upcoming changes to leadership. Starting Monday, 3rd June, Mrs. S Southwell will be handing over the role of Head of Year 7 to Mr M Birt, who will spend the next half term getting to know the year group and will continue to support and lead them into the next stage of their CTA journey as they transition to Year 8 in September 2024.

Mrs H Hewitt will remain with the year group as Student Support Officer, working alongside Mr. Birt as the new Head of Year.

Mr. Birt shared his enthusiasm, saying:

“I am delighted to be the Head of Year 8. With over 15 years of teaching experience, including the last 5 years at Chase Terrace Academy, and as the current Head of Year 11, I am looking forward to this new role. I want to express my thanks to Mrs. Southwell for her excellent work in welcoming Year 7 and helping them settle in so well. We’ve been working together to ensure a smooth transition and will continue to collaborate closely to support your child’s development. I have high hopes and expectations for what we can achieve together as a year group. By working collaboratively with parents, teachers, and pupils, we can help each young person fulfil their potential.”

Please don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Birt if you have any questions or concerns at m.birt@chaseterraceacademy.co.uk
