FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) Rewards Week
22nd June 2026
Dear Parent/Carer
I am pleased to inform you that on Monday 13th July 2026, we will be holding our FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) week here at Rockwood Academy.
At Rockwood Academy, we recognise the importance to reward students for excellent behaviour and
attendance. We welcome our students who are proud of being part of the ‘Rockwood Way’ at CORE Education Trust. We are therefore excited to introduce a very special rewards week for students which we are calling FOMO week. The week will consist of games and sweet treats, trainer days and non-uniform days or selected students and also special golden tickets where students will receive special privileges during the school week.
There will also be £50, £20 and 3x £10 vouchers up for grabs for the most improved students during FOMO week.
In order to be part of this special week for the next 4 weeks, your child must:
• have 100% attendance for the next 4 weeks left of school (attending 20 school days)
• have earned over 300 CORE points to be entered in a prize draw and have a chance to win an Amazon voucher.
We look forward to seeing your child every single day in the academy. I am excited to see them begin to accumulate as many CORE points as possible from teachers over the next 4 weeks.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours faithfully
Mr G Singh
Assistant Headteacher

Maintaining High Standards of School Uniform
3rd July 2026
Dear Parents and Carers
At Rockwood Academy, we are proud of the high standards we set for our students. Our school uniform is an important part of this, as it helps students develop a sense of pride, belonging and readiness for learning.
We are writing to ask for your support in ensuring that your child wears their uniform smartly every day. In particular, students must ensure that their shirt is tucked in neatly and that their tie is pulled up properly to the top of their collar. These small details matter because they reflect the standards, discipline and sense of Excellence we expect from every Rockwood student.
Excellence is one of our CORE Values, and we want students to embody this in everything they do; how they learn, how they behave, how they treat others and how they present themselves. Wearing uniform correctly is a simple but important way for students to show pride in themselves and in our academy community.
Please support us by checking your child’s uniform before they leave for school each morning. We would also be grateful if you could speak to your child about why dressing neatly and smartly is important, not only in school but also in preparing them for future expectations in college, employment and wider life.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us maintain the highest standards at Rockwood Academy.
Yours sincerely
Mr S Malik
Head of School
