Remote Learning Information
This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to students and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education if local restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home.
Critical Workers
If you are a critical worker and intend to send your child in to the Academy on Monday 4 January please email the academy at info@keshacademy.com by 4pm Friday 1st Jan so appropriate arrangements can be made
If you have any further questions relating to this please email the Academy with your queries.
BTEC Exam Update
Following the latest DfE notice posted this evening we have made the decision not to proceed with the scheduled BTEC examinations this month. This is not a decision we have taken lightly, however, we feel that it is an appropriate response in these unprecedented circumstances. Students due to take these exams will receive further information from their 6th Form teachers in due course.

COVID-19 testing in the Academy
The Academy is the process of preparing the Academy site in order to take part in the Governments COVID-19 mass testing programme.
A short video clip demonstrates the self-swabbing process that students will need to undertake under the guidance of Academy staff to enable them to take part in the testing programme. All of the resources and equipment required will be provided by the Academy. Further details of how to register for the programme and the timeframe for testing to commence will be released shortly.

Another fantastic year for students at KESH Sixth Form; the AS and A-Level grades secured are the best ever!
Our students have once again been very successful in their A-Level studies and have secured the best grades ever, 56% of A-Level results were a grade B or better, with nearly 90% of A-Level students securing a grade C or better! As a result, the vast majority of our students are able to continue with their studies in their first choice of University and this includes some very prestigious universities and courses:
- Medicine at the University of Birmingham and Aston University (three students in total)
- Mathematics at the University of Birmingham
- Economics at the University of Birmingham
- Civil Engineering at the University of Birmingham
- Mathematics with Economics at the University of Birmingham
- Biological Sciences at the University of Warwick
Students in Year 12 performed really well with 54% of AS results being at grade B or better and 78% being at grade C or better!
We are proud of what our students have achieved and we wish them the very best for their future.
