REVISION RESOURCES & USEFUL WEBSITES
Throughout the school year, we provide several opportunities for families to come into school to access support and discuss their child's progress at every stage of their secondary school journey.
​
Information evenings
​
At the start of the academic year, you will attend a session focussed on a key priority for the year ahead to enable you to work in partnership with school to support your child's academic success.
​
Parents evenings
​
This is your chance to meet with each subject to hear about your child's achievements to date and discuss any areas for development.
