Reports

q       Full reports containing comments on all subjects and activities are issued to Parents/Carers each year.

q       Parents are informed of all public examination results and are provided with the appropriate comparative information.

q       The Form Tutor provides an overview of progress details and details of attendance and punctuality.

q       Students are encouraged to assess their own achievements.

q       Reports are also used to produce the National Record of Achievement.

Parents' Evenings

These take place during each year for Parents/Carers top discuss their daughters/son’s progress either with subject teachers or with the Form Tutor.

A special Parents’ Evening is held in the Summer Term for Parents/Carers of students arriving in September, to explain all that is involved in starting at a new school.

We ask that you support your daughter/son by giving Parents’ Evening a high priority.

Interviews at the School

Parents/Carers are always welcome to seek interviews with tutors (normally the first ‘port of call’), Year Co-ordinators and Curriculum Area Heads.

The Head can usually resolve any problems of a serious nature but if you need to, there is a formal complaints procedure available through the school.

Academic Tutoring

q       Once a term students have a meeting with their Tutor specifically to review the progress they have made and to set targets for the next term.

q       A special Academic Tutoring Day is set-aside during the Spring term for an extended interview between the tutor and individual students during which new targets are negotiated.

q       Parents/Carers are invited to attend this meeting.
