Please look out for an email next week inviting you to start booking appointments with your child's subject teachers. Appointments will be available between 4pm and 8pm on Thursday 3rd and between 8am and 4.30 pm on Friday 4th.
Please note school will be closed on Friday 4th March to enable teachers and families to meet online. The learning conferences are your opportunity to discuss your child's learning and progress. Your child should lead the conversations and should be with you at each of the meetings. This is a great opportunity to support your child to identify targets to reach their goals.
Please check your child has either the latest version of the SafeEntry app or a working token to support SafeEntry check-in each morning.
A working token should have a light flashing every minute. If it does not, it needs to be manually scanned which slows down the entry process for your child and others. Tokens work for approximately 6 months before they need replacing.
New tokens can be obtained for free from community centres; you can find the nearest one with a vending machine here.
Our IGCSEs and IB Diploma and courses programmes are two year long programmes that are assessed at the end of the two years by external examinations. In order to help prepare learners we will run trial exams in Year 10 and Year 12 to provide learners with the opportunity to bring their learning together under timed conditions and learn more about exam technique. These exams will be held between April 4th and 13th.
