Year 8 and 9 Welcome Evening

ParentPay

There is a small 'buffer' zone available for students to get a meal if there is no credit in their account. Please check ParentPay regularly to ensure that accounts are in credit to avoid this happening. If you would like the 'buffer' to be removed from your child's account, please email finance@writhlington.org.uk. 

Please ensure that your child's catering account does not have a debit balance from the end of the school year. Please top it up online or contact Mrs Scott in Finance to pay in cash. 

Uniform

We will continue to allow students to wear PE kit on the days when they have PE. It is very important that students are wearing the correct PE kit on these days. The following changes now apply:

• All year groups should have a school PE jacket. Hoodies are no longer allowed as school uniform.

• All year groups should have branded PE bottoms. This can be either school shorts or school jogging bottoms. 

Homework

We are making a few changes to the way we set and record students' homework this year. Students' homework will now be set on Talaxy which will allow you to have better insights into what they are doing. Homework will be set on a more regular basis and consolidated in lessons to ensure that all students engage and develop their understanding of what they are doing at home. Please look out for notifications on Talaxy and support your child with their home learning. We will talk more about this on the welcome evenings over the next two weeks.
