| YEAR 8 The meeting for parents of Year 8 students with Form Tutors takes place next Thursday evening, 23rd September. The meeting is phased, and parents should note the time of their meeting. A letter about the meeting was issued on Tuesday INFORMATION Students and parents have received, or will be receiving, a considerable amount of information via Form Tutors. Today, the copy of the home-school agreement, together with a letter and a reply slip, has been issued to students in Years 8-11 to take home to parents. Please read the letter and the agreement carefully and sign and return the reply slip. Additionally, the local authority asks parents of all students to complete a return on ethnic grouping, which again should be returned to the school. Last Tuesday, all students in Years 8-11 should have taken home information relating to the funding of higher education and notice of a meeting on 28th September. If parents do not receive what has been issued, please ring the school office, so that spares can be sent to you. EXAMS AND TESTS All Year 11 students have received a written statement of the grade they achieved in the first part of their GCSE Science exam which was taken last term. And this morning, all Year 8 students sat the MIDYIS test which will allow us to set minimum target grades for all subjects at Key Stage 3. Next Monday, 20th September, Year 10 students will take the YELLIS test which will set target grades for all GCSE courses. |
