Virtual Open Evening 2020
Our annual Open Evening is due to take place on Thursday 24th September and we would, normally, be delighted to welcome visitors to the academy for this event.
It is, however, not possible to run this important evening in the same way as previous years due to the current Covid-19 pandemic.
We will, however, still be hosting a Virtual Open Evening and hope that you are able to join us in spirit if not in body.
We actively encourage all parents of students who will be in Year 6 take advantage of our Virtual Open Evening in order to see what we have to offer here at KBA. We firmly believe that 'excellence is a habit' and hope that, after visiting us, you will make our academy first preference for your child for entry in September 2021.
Our academy is a vibrant, dynamic and inspiring environment in which to study and there will be opportunities to take part in a range of activities across all subject areas.
We have been heavily oversubscribed for the last 5 years and expect this to be the case again this year.
Principal's Presentation
On Thursday 24th September our Virtual Open Evening will begin with a live presentation delivered by our Principal, Mr Di Salvo, and other key members of the academy's leadership team.
