Secondary School Updates (26 August 2022)

Key Dates 

Weekly update from Head of Secondary

Dear Parents,

On Wednesday after school, we proudly hosted our first Parent Evening of the year: the Parent Welcome Evening (Years 7-9). We were delighted to see many of our parents in attendance. 

The purpose of the Parent Welcome Evenings is to provide the opportunity for parents to learn more about what we teach, how we teach, and what support we place around the holistic development of students. It is a chance for parents to meet their child’s teachers, Heads of Year, Heads of Department, and talk with Secondary School Leadership Team.  

Next Tuesday (30th August) we invite Year 10-13 parents to the second of the welcome evenings. Please look out for more details in your email inbox. We hope to see all of you there. 

In addition to the Parent Welcome Evenings, this year we will offer the following parent connection opportunities: 

• The Parent Workshops Series, which will focus on key topics. 
• Tutor Connect Days where parents will be invited into school to meet with tutors and discuss wellbeing, performance, and future goals. 
• Parent-Teacher Meetings which will focus on academic attainment and improvement 

More details on all of these opportunities to come. 

Best regards, 

Chris Newman

Head of Secondary
