We recently launched a new portal that provides information to help you support your child's journey at the academy.

If you'd like to know more about the portal, here's a run-through of how to access it and what is included.

How to sign in

  2. Enter your email address
  3. Receive a "magic link" by email to securely sign in

If you still need to provide an email address, please get in touch with the academy to update your contact details.
