Dear Parent/Carer,
HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD IN YEAR 9
Wednesday 25 September 2024: 5:30pm – 6:30pm
I am pleased to announce that this year we will be returning to our traditional ‘face-to-face’ Parents/Carer Information Evenings. The last few years have been presented via TEAMs but we are thankfully in a position now to revert to our traditional format.
Our ‘How to Support Your Child in Year 9’ Information Evening is an opportunity for you to come into school, meet key staff such as your child’s Head of Year and Year Manager, and find out more information about your child’s academic studies this year, and also, how you, as parents and carers, can support them with this.
The evening will comprise of a welcome presentation, which consists of an overview of learning in Year 9 and key events throughout the year.
There will follow, the opportunity to attend curriculum workshops that will provide you with some useful information and advice about how you can support your child’s studies. (We will place the information from the workshops that you are unable to attend on our VLE after the evening.)
Please arrive in school at 5:25pm for a 5:30pm start. The welcome presentation will take place at 5:30pm and the workshops will begin at 6:00pm.
The evening is intended to be a relaxed opportunity to meet key members of staff, but further appointments can be arranged to meet with your child’s Head of Year and Year Manager for a more formal or extended period of time should you wish to do so.
We strongly encourage you to attend this evening if you are able to. We have organised this type of information evening for a number of years now and our feedback from this event last year was extremely positive.
We will be holding our Year 9 Options Evening on Tuesday 4 February 2025 and we will write to you with further details of this. Your child will be invited to this evening.
In order to give us an indication of numbers of attendees, we would appreciate if you could complete our online form here:
