Dear Parent/Carer
Year 7 Parents’ Evening
I am delighted to inform you that our Year 7 Parents’ Evening will take place on Thursday 6th March 2025 4.00pm to 6.30pm. We appreciate that it is Ramadan, however, this will be the only opportunity this academic year to come in and discuss your child’s progress and attitude to learning with their subject teachers. Upon arrival you will be greeted by your child’s form tutor, where you can discuss PD, attendance and punctuality.
Should you require any further support or have any questions, Ms Sula and I will be at hand.
We look forward to seeing you.
Yours sincerely
Miss N Holness
Head of Year 7

Dear Parents/Carers
I would like to formally invite all parents to the upcoming Year 9 GCSE Options Evening which will take place on Thursday 13th February 2025 starting at 4.00pm.
This evening is a crucial part of your child’s academic journey, as it provides essential information about the options available to students as they begin to make decisions about their future studies.
Choosing the right GCSE subjects is an important milestone and can influence your child’s future educational and career path. During the evening, you will have the opportunity to meet with subject teachers, ask questions, and gain insight into each course’s content and the expectations for the year ahead. We strongly encourage you to attend, as this will ensure you and your child are well informed and able to make the best choices for their individual interests and strengths.
We understand that this is a busy time, but we cannot stress enough how important it is to attend this event. Your involvement will help your child feel supported and confident as they move forward with their GCSE decisions.
We look forward to seeing you there and working together to ensure your child’s continued success.
Yours sincerely
Mr S Hussain
Head of Year
