Stafford University Academy opens its doors to parents

The new Stafford University Academy throws opens its doors to parents next week.

It will show what it has to offer and how it will benefit from a £9.7 million investment for new facilities.

The former Blake Valley Technology College in Hednesford re-opened for the new term as the new academy.

A programme of refurbishments which is set to transform the school over the next three years is already underway. Pupils new to the academy were invited – along with their parents – to attend an opening assembly where they were entertained by the school's performing arts stars.

An open evening is being held at the new academy on Thursday, September 22 at 6pm to show parents of prospective students what it has to offer and how it will benefit from the £9.7m.
