This last evening for parents aims to explore the emotional experience of learning and what may affect our children’s ability to engage in studying, exam revision and, towards the end of the academic year, their future aspirations. The fear of failure can be troubling and for some unbearable - they may push themselves too hard and work excessively, or they may give up and pull out altogether. This session will give parents the opportunity to think together about how parents can help their children to get through exams and to the next stage in their educational pathway, or to enter the world of work.

Parents Evenings are an important event within the school year. This gives parents or carers an opportunity to meet their child's teachers face to face to discuss how their child is progressing in each of their subjects. Tutors, Heads of Year, Key Stage Managers, Senior Management and Parent Support staff are also available to ensure any questions parents may have can be addressed.
All events are 5-7pm.
