HOW PARENTS CAN HELP
Parents/carers are encouraged to discuss class and home learning with pupils. The department provides an overview of topics covered and important deadlines to be met. Lessons, mark schemes and assessments are available on the school intranet.
SECURING SUCCESS
The progress and performance of pupils will be monitored throughout the course. We provide an invaluable intranet site, activities that suit a range of learning styles, and an emphasis on life skills and doing as much as knowing. Parents/carers of pupils who are underachieving will be notified and History workshops will be organised for pupils who feel the need for reinforcement or to help those who find aspects of private study difficult.
