Parents
- Ensure regular attendance at school. Work completed in class is VERY, VERY important. Work Experience also depends upon regular attendance.
- HOLIDAYS taken during term time will disadvantage your son/daughter. Work will need to be copied up and key lessons will be missed across the curriculum. Pupils find it very difficult to catch up.
- KS4 home Learning Guide
GOOD ATTENDANCE = GOOD GRADES
- Punctuality is VITAL. Important messages are given out in registration. Work Experience also depends upon punctual attendance.
GOOD PUNCTUALITY = GOOD GRADES
- Encourage your son / daughter as much as possible. Keep a regular check on homework, coursework, projects and investigations.
- If you are concerned about progress, contact school. Staff are happy to answer questions and give advice.
