We’re moving at a pace to support Year 11 to help them achieve their best possible GCSE results in the summer. We continue to build their confidence and resilience to tackle the challenging exam period ahead.
We would like to invite you to a vital Year 11 Parents’ and Students GCSE Revision Information Evening on Monday 10 October, 5-6pm with free fish & chips (or vegetarian option) At that evening the Principal, and Heads of Department, will explain the demands of each GCSE subject and make clear all the help that is being offered. It will be an opportunity for parents and carers to understand the various types of support that is available, now and in the coming months, to ensure our young people grasp every opportunity to do well.
We will also ask for your support at home in some key areas. We will go through a number of key initiatives and expectations, some of which have been in place for some time, and two in particular that will be launched with Year 11 following the evening:
- The Year 11 Mock Exam Revision Timetable - and the 2 hours study per night expectation
- The ‘Passport to the Prom’ - including basic expectations, and how to earn further rewards
-
After-school Enrichment Sessions - their importance
-
Homework - how we use the GoogleClassroom, and other online learning such as Maths Sparx
-
1:2:1 Tutors - how we use the colleagues and expectations for students accessing their help
Please can we ask that you complete a short online form to signal your intention to come along on Monday at 5pm, and to order your free fish & chips so we can arrange the catering.
