A message for our Year 7 parents and carers:

Year 7 Meet the Tutor Evening.

This event provides an opportunity for you to meet your child's form tutor, who will be supporting them throughout the academic year. It is also a chance to find out how your child has settled into Year 7, learn more about life at The Portsmouth Academy, and ask any questions you may have about the year ahead.

  • Session 1: 3:30pm to 4:15pm
  • Session 2: 4:15pm to 5:00pm

Allergy Awareness:

To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware Posters for AAW25

Personal Development

We believe in empowering young minds to meet the world head-on.

At the heart of our mission lies the commitment to nurturing not only academic excellence but also personal development.

But what is personal development and why is it important?

Personal development means getting better at things as you grow up, like learning new stuff, being kind, and becoming the best you. It's like an adventure where our pupils can discover how amazing they can be. 

Below, you will find links to key areas of our website to provide you with an understanding of the personal development opportunities on offer at The Portsmouth Academy.

Student Voice

At The Portsmouth Academy, we recognise that academic success alone is not enough to thrive in today's ever-changing world. That's why we place a strong emphasis on personal development alongside academic opportunities. We believe that nurturing well-rounded individuals equipped with essential life skills is paramount to young people to meet the world.
