Working together to create Choice & Opportunity
We know that children achieve most when school and home work together. Here you can find practical information to help your child get the most from their time at Alvaston Moor Academy, from getting ready for school and learning at home to attendance, wellbeing and understanding the AMA Way.
Our shared values of Ambition, Manners and Achievement help our students develop the knowledge, habits and confidence they need for Choice & Opportunity.
Parents Evening
Below is the link to be able to book slots for parent evening, when your child year is due.
Support with your energy
Please find below information from citizens advice regarding how to potentially get support from energy suppliers:-
If you can’t afford to top up your prepayment meter, you might be able to get a fuel voucher. You’ll get the voucher as a code in a letter, text message or email.
You can use it to add credit to your gas card or electricity key. If you don’t have one of these, contact your supplier to get one.
Your local council might be able to help you get a fuel voucher – find your local council on GOV.UK. If you’re still not sure if you can get a voucher, get help from an adviser.
- the code and instructions
- some form of ID – for example, your passport or a bill with your name and address. If you have a smart prepayment meter you can also add the fuel voucher credit to your account online. To do this, follow the instructions on your voucher.
Check your fuel voucher to see when it expires. You might have to use it within 15 days.
If you have problems using your voucher, contact the organisation that gave it to you – you should be able to find their contact information on the instructions.
Talk to an adviser if you need help. Your local Citizens Advice will need to apply for you.
Check what other help you can get if you use alternative fuels.

Together, these give our young people Choice & Opportunity for their future.
