KS4/5 Raising Attainment Evening Thursday 12th December 2024
The KS4/5 Raising Attainment Evening is on Thursday 12th December 6-7pm at KSA. We are looking forward to seeing you there. Our students are very welcome to attend with you. (Please arrive in good time for a prompt start.)
At this evening, parents will hear from us on how parents/carers can support our Year 11s over the sixth months leading up to GCSEs, including how to support revision at home. Support at home has a massive impact on doing well in school. I will also outline key events for the rest of Year 11.
Heads of Department for English, maths and science will give you the key information about their subjects, including what students should focus on.
We have loved working with the Year 11s to date and are regularly impressed with what we see. Parental support is key to our students doing as well as they can, and we know parents often want some advice on how to support.
Many thanks
Mrs Gant and Mr Reid
After the event we will put any handouts on here as a PDF.
Revision and Exam Details
Will be published soon.
