Assessments for Years 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13

October 2017

Dear Parents,

Your daughter or son’s Assessment Sheet (Years 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13) will be available on SIMS Learning gateway from Friday, October 20th.

This is the first of the five Assessments, which we will send home this year.

We hope that both you and they will find cause for celebration and that the grades they have received will inform their work for the coming term and beyond.

This school year we will be focusing on student attendance. Every student should be aiming for 100%, except in the most exceptional circumstances. Less than 98% attendance is a serious cause for concern and disrupts students’ learning.

We will also be focusing much more closely on the completion of all Homework by all students to their best personal standard as we believe this is a vital key to student learning and progress.

Please would you check that your son or daughter has all necessary equipment for school. A list of equipment appears in the Parents’ Handbook as well as the Student Planner.

We look forward to seeing students back in school on Monday, October 30th 2017.

If you have any query or concern around your daughter or son’s Assessments please contact their Academy Director at the beginning of next half-term.

May I also take this opportunity to wish all students a restful half-term week.

Yours sincerely,

Charles Joseph

Senior Vice Principal
