Parental Support

Partnership between home and College is one of the most important factors in ensuring that each student achieves success. To ensure that communication between home and College occurs regularly, parents are invited into College to discuss their children’s progress. Other sessions are organised in order for parents of students in Years 7, 9 and 11 to come into College to discuss the next stage in their children’s education. Parents are also encouraged to communicate with teachers via the College planner.

Parents are encouraged to discuss their child’s progress with individual teachers and receive written reports (both interim and full) on their children’s achievement. There is an annual Review Day for each year group when parents/carers have the opportunity to meet with Form Tutors and discuss progress and future targets. From Year 7 students begin working on their Progress File, which reflects their time at College by giving a detailed account of all that they have achieved. Parents can also communicate with teachers via email.
