Given the government’s recommendation that, where other protective measures cannot be adhered to e.g. social distancing in communal areas, masks should be worn by students and staff. We have purchased masks and visors for all staff and spare masks for students where needed.

Congratulations to year 11 and fantastic results. We have also had another fantastic year in Post 16 with our value added being the highest in the trust and students achieving almost a grade higher than their target.

We are looking forward to welcoming our new Year 12 students in September. For those of you who are joining us this September then your start date is Wednesday 9th September. You will need to arrive by 8:15am in business dress. Please ensure you keep hold of your receipt for business dress as you will need to hand it in to claim some money back.

If you have not yet enrolled at Outwood Academy Hemsworth Post 16 then please complete the google form emailed along with your results and someone will be in touch.
Any questions please contact Mrs Clifford (k.clifford@hemsworth.outwood.com).

What are they doing?

If the answer is ‘no’ then help West Yorkshire Police to help keep children safe from the misery of exploitation – especially through county lines crime.
