It has been fantastic to welcome students back to the Academy after the summer break and wonderful to see them upholding the high standards that we set and expect. This is underpinned by the 3Rs: Ready, Respectful, and Responsible. Our students arrive at the Academy ready to learn by being in immaculate Business Dress, on time to lessons, correctly equipped, and with a positive mindset. 
Students demonstrate how respectful they can be by actively engaging in their learning, showing courtesy and manners to all members of the Academy community, and taking care of our learning environment. Finally, we take pride in teaching students how to be responsible and it has been a pleasure to watch the older students help our new Year 7 students settle into Academy life as well as taking responsibility for producing their own exceptional work. 
We are confident that these three characteristics are key to ensuring every student has the best chance of success both academically, socially, and beyond, and look forward to embedding them in all aspects of Academy life whilst working collaboratively with parents and carers. We appreciate your continued support and partnership in achieving impeccable behaviour and maintaining high standards. – Mr Webster 
Open Evening ArrangementsOn Thursday 3rd October, we have our annual Open Evening and students will enjoy an early finish at 12:45pm to allow staff time to set up. In due course, we'll be inviting some students to support on the evening as guides and helpers. A Bright Start for Year 7Welcome to all our new Year 7 students! You have all made a fantastic start to your journey at Q3 Academy Great Barr and have stepped up to showcase the Academy expectations of being Ready, Respectful, and Responsible at all times. 
All students have been enthusiastic in their learning. It has been a pleasure visiting their lessons and receiving praise from their teachers. Staff have commented on how respectful all students are, and how they have shown outstanding engagement. 
Students have been getting used to moving around the Academy, and enjoyed the opportunity to have lessons in our science labs. 
This class were thrilled to learn French with Mrs Sayer. We now have an inter-tutor French competition to see which Tutor Group can showcase the most outstanding French skills. Year 7... who will win? 
Students spent some time with their Personal Tutor last week, getting to know each other and understanding the rules and expectations of the Academy. Personal Tutors have been supporting students and showing them around. We are all really excited for the year ahead and cannot wait to see all the achievements the students are going to make across the academic year. Good luck Year 7 and well done! – Miss Bloomfield 
An Inspiring Start: Students Shine in Art LessonsAs we embark on a new academic year, it's truly heartening to see our students approach their art lessons with such enthusiasm and positivity. From the very first day, students have arrived ready to learn, armed with creativity and a willingness to explore new techniques and ideas. Their eagerness to engage with the subject is infectious, setting a vibrant tone for the term ahead. 
The positive attitude displayed by our students is already evident in their work. They are not only embracing the challenges set before them but are also pushing the boundaries of their creativity. This proactive approach is fostering a dynamic learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves and take artistic risks. It's a joy to witness their growth and development as young artists. 
We are incredibly excited to see the fantastic work that our students will produce this year. With their commitment and passion, we are confident that they will create pieces that not only showcase their individual talents but also reflect the collaborative spirit of our art community. As the year progresses, we look forward to celebrating their achievements and sharing their inspiring creations with the wider Academy community. – Miss Martin 
Spotlight on Our Equal Rights Poster ChampionsBefore the summer break, our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors led a poster competition asking students to create passionate posters about equal rights. They received lots of great entries but there could only be one winner. Big congratulations go to Kelleisha who produced a vibrant and eye-catching poster, earning her the prize of a set of art materials! Her winning poster will be printed and showcased around the corridors of the Academy. We also had five runners-up who also received prizes. – Miss B Smith
