Dear Ark Victoria students
I hope that you all remain safe, well, happy and healthy and that you are enjoying doing your work for school and talking to your teachers. I hope that you are also finding some time to enjoy yourself and maybe even learn something different or new.
We are working hard preparing for your return in September. As well as completing some important building work, we are busy planning a new library and space for Y11 to study. We are also working on the presentation of our school - bringing our values to life and adding some photographs and pictures. Your teachers are also working hard thinking about adapting and adjusting the curriculum and creating resources to help you learn and make real progress.
The government is due to make an announcement about plans to bring pupils back to school in September, in the coming days; we are looking carefully at the guidance and also your curriculum to make sure your transition back into school is effective in helping you feel confident and secure. We look forward to updating you on these plans in the next few weeks.
You may be missing certain things about the summer term - one of the things we are definitely missing (apart from having you all in the building) is our Sports Day. In the absence of a Sports Day, Ark Victoria Academy is taking part in the Ark Sports Day Challenge - we are trying to get all our schools across the Ark network to collectively cycle, run and walk the distance around the world. It is 40,000km! To take on this challenge, alongside our staff, we would ask you to do an activity or many activities that will add to our kilometre count and helps us reach our target.

National School Sport Week at Home 2020
The annual National School Sport Week campaign takes place in the last week of June every year to celebrate the important role ofPhysical Education and school sport in enhancing young people's wellbeing. This year, the Youth Sport Trust has teamed up with Sky Sports to run a national campaign which will aim to unite the country - families, schools, sport and businesses - in a celebration of the power of sport to bring people together, even during isolation.The UK-wide campaign will challenge people to take on their families, friends and neighbours in virtual sporting challenges –helping them to connect in an unprecedented period of school closures and social distancing.
How it works
We will provide everyone who registers with free videos and activity cards to help you plan a series of challenges across National School Sport Week at Home. You will receive these well in advance of the week itself so you'll have plenty of time to plan your activities.The active challenges will all have an emphasis on togetherness, inclusivity and wellbeing. They will be things you can do within the home, and where you can engage in straightforward virtual competition with friends, neighbours and family outside your home.We will also provide you with ideas for sharing your challenges online during the week using the hashtag #NSSWtogether.
