Parents/Carers of Year 11
06/11/2009
Dear Parents/Carers,
As always, the Autumn Term is going fast, and I need to remind/tell you
about some of the Year 11 events which will take place in the near future.
Thursday, November 12th: 6th
form Open Evening for all Year 11 students
6.30 – 9.00 p.m. and
parents.
Thursday, November 26th: A*-C
evening. This is an additional evening
6.30 p.m. which
we have introduced. It will focus on the
core
subjects of English, Maths and Science,
and
enable parents to help students achieve
the various levels.
Tuesday, 8th December: MOCK EXAMINATIONS BEGIN
Timetable can be
found here. N.B. This is a change
in
date, to give students longer to prepare.
Thursday, 28th January: Year
11 Parents’ Evening.
4.00
- 7.00 p.m. Please ensure
your son/daughter makes an
appointment
with all staff!
February Half Term: Revision
sessions – details later.
In addition, we have now identified some students who are in danger of
not meeting their targets and who need additional support. This will either be in the form of support
from experienced ‘external’ mentors from London Challenge for the core
subjects, or internal mentors as part of our ‘Assertive Mentoring’ scheme. Parents of these students will be notified
separately.
Also, when mock examination papers have been marked, parents of
underachieving students will be written to separately, and special meetings set
up.
Year 11 continues to be our priority for the year. In the new term, for example, we will be
buying in ‘Learning Performance seminars’ which proved very popular and successful
in helping last year’s Year 11 to improve their grades.
We would welcome any comments from parents on how else we might support
students to do their best next summer.
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Peacock
Headteacher
