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.

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.
