I am delighted to confirm details of the 6th Form Consultation evening taking place on Thursday 8th December 2022 from 15:30 to 18:00. This is a crucial event for students, parents/carers and teachers to have open and honest discussions about attainment, progress and attitude to learning in light of the recent PPEs sat by Year 13 and the in class assessments sat by Year 12 before the October half term. The purpose of this event is twofold: firstly, to help your child to maximise their potential and, secondly, so that you are in the best position to support them to further improve their attainment by their A-Level examinations in May.

Miss Sangster (Deputy Headteacher) wrote to you in May 2022 to explain that ‘we are committed to ensuring we develop systems that mean you are kept well up to date with your child’s progress and learning in school, across all of their subjects.’ With this in mind, you will have the opportunity to book 5 minute slots with subject teachers to discuss your child’s progress.

Appointments should be made through Bromcom using the parent MCAS (My Child at School) account. Once you have logged into your dashboard, the Parents Evening link can be found on the menu on the left hand side of the screen. The link will take you to another screen where you can book 5 minute appointment slots with each of your child’s main class teachers. A record of your appointment will be stored on your MCAS app. You will be able to book appointments from Friday 25th November until Friday 2nd December. If you are unable to make an appointment using the app, then please ask your child to arrange an appointment with their class teacher, who will be able to record the appointment manually.

We know that a strong relationship between school and parents/carers will ensure that students are best placed to achieve well academically. Following this evening, I will write to you again to provide an opportunity for feedback so that we can take your comments and suggestions on board and outline our intervention and support menu. I do hope that you are able to attend the Consultation Evening, and we look forward to seeing you.

Yours faithfully

Miss V Humphrey
