This Week's Updates from Maltings Academy

Please refer to our newsletter for all key Academy updates. This is sent to you on email and also can be accessed via the website. 

From Tuesday 1st October 2024 our car park gates will be locked between 8am and 3:30pm. This is to enhance the safety of our students due to the increase of both students cutting through the car park and parents using the car park to drop off and collect their children. The car park is for staff and pre-arranged visitors only, who will be advised to call through to our reception at the gate. 

Punctuality to school and to lessons

As a reminder we have moved our late detentions to lunch time as an alternative to after school. 

Any student arriving at school after 8:30am or arriving late to lesson, will be issued with a same day 20 min lunch time detention. 

In the event that this detention is not attended, students will be set a detention for an hour after school on a Friday. (3:15pm - 4:15pm). 

Uniform

A reminder that leggings cannot be worn as part of our school uniform.  Please support us by ensuring that your child comes to school wearing the correct academy uniform. 

If they arrive without the correct uniform they will be required to wear spare uniform. Thank you for your support with this as we continue on our improvement journey.

School of Rock - The Musical

Lift Maltings, Witham, CM8 1EP

Wednesday 9th July 2025 - Friday 11th July 2025

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical, based on the much-loved film of the same name.

Based on the Paramount movie by Mike White, Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Book by Julian Fellowes, Lyrics by Glenn Slater

Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme… You better get me to school on time! 

School of Rock is a two-hour, two-act musical (plus interval), based on the hit movie. The show follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There, he turns a class of straight–A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out?

The stage musical on Broadway and in the West End was produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who also composed 14 new songs for the show, which additionally features all of the original songs from the movie. The composer’s numbers “You’re in the Band” and “Stick it to the Man” are well on their way to becoming rock solid standards, while the finale with “Teacher’s Pet” will bring audiences to their feet, night after night.

School of Rock, with its sensational live kids’ rock band, is a loving testimony to the transforming power of music. May the spirit of rock be with those who pledge allegiance to Lloyd Webber’s newest hit!
