Support for Parents

The transition to Sixth Form has been described by many as a big step and adjusting can be hard. Students can find the work load challenging, as well as the expectations. While they become young adults we recognise the key role parents continue to play in supporting their son/daughter through their studies. To this end we continue to engage parents in the schooling of our young people. Details for parents and advise on how parents can support their son or daughter through Sixth Form can be found below:
