Parents Information
Dear Parent/Carer,
As you are aware we are approaching the time of year when your child will be making choices about the subjects he/she will study during the next academic year.
The choices booklet that will be distributed next week will help students make informed decisions about which subjects to study in the next stage of their learning. Please take time to sit down together and discuss what will be the most suitable choices.
Each student is carefully supported and guided through the options process by their Tutor for Learning. Decisions should be based on achievements to date and expected results at the end of the current year of study. To support you in selecting appropriate and engaging courses, a Pathways Evening will be held at school on Thursday 26 January 2012 from 4.00 – 5.30pm for students in Years 8 and 9 and from 5.30-6.30pm for students in Year 10.
There will be an information session for parents of Year 8 students at 4.30pm in the Year 7 wing to support you in guiding your children appropriately. Similarly a question and answer session for parents of Year 10 learners will be held at 6.00pm in the Year 7 wing.
Alternatively subject specialist teachers are available throughout the evening in order to give you detailed information about the courses on offer. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions and discuss pathways with Heads of House.
We look forward to seeing you on 26th January.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Davies
