Information for New Year 7 September 2023
Year 6 Welcome message from the Principal
Principal Gordon Farquhar
Dear Students and Families of our New Year 7
I am so pleased to be welcoming you at this time of optimism. With schools returning from the 8th March and the vaccine reaching more and more of our community, we can begin to cautiously plan for the future.
We are delighted that you have chosen to come to the Milton Keynes Academy. Rest assured that we have been working in partnership with your primary schools to ensure we know about you and your individual talents, skills and needs.
We cannot yet provide you with details of our plans for induction days or your start in September, we can tell you that we will make sure that you be introduced to the school, your teachers and our fantastic facilities through the website page dedicated to you, our Class of 2022. When you do come into school, you will receive special induction sessions so that you know how to keep safe as well as becoming accustomed to life at a secondary school.
At MKA, we pride ourselves on providing Opportunities for Everyone, and you will be no exception. One of the things that sets the Academy apart is that we are part of a wider family of schools, belonging as we do to the Creative Education Trust. Working alongside our wider family, we are able to provide you with a wealth of experiences and I hope that you come to us ready and willing to take on every opportunity that is offered.
Mr Copson, Head of Year 7, and his team will keep you informed of all you need to know by his weekly updates on the website, from details about uniform through to how the restaurant works. Watch out for competitions and challenges that you can take part in now!
Throughout your time at The Milton Keynes Academy, you will take part in Knowledge Connected Days which will teach you about transferable knowledge and skills and develop your creativity. We would like you to think about the current situation in a creative way, we have launched a photography competition, our Isolation Brief.

The competition is now open and will end on the 1st September 2022, each week we will add entries to our virtual gallery on the website. Enter now and let everyone see just how talented you are!
