CGA News & Updates

CGA News, the academy's newsletter is emailed to parents fortnightly to keep families in touch with what is going on. It also provides the community with a flavour of Clapton Girls' Academy. Similarly, this website and our social media channels (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) provide parents with a wealth of information about the life of the academy. CGA News and our website help us celebrate our successes and allow information to be passed on about clubs, trips and other specialist events.
