ATTENTION PARENTS AND GUARDIANS OF STUDENTS IN YEAR 11

INVITATION TO A CURRICULUM SUPPORT EVENING

Monday, 8th March 2010 - 6.30 to 7.30pm in the Main Hall

On Monday, 8 March, we shall be hosting a talk aimed at parents of students in Year 11 whose children will be taking their GCSE's in 2010.

The months leading up to GCSE's can be pretty stressful on both parent and student and the purpose of this talk is to provide an opportunity to share ideas about the best way to support students during this GCSE year and explain progression pathways, assessment procedures, exam protocol and revision strategies.

If you have any particular issues that you would like to be covered, please do e-mail
Ms Wilson (wl@chase.worcs.sch.uk) or Mr Roberts (rb@chase.worcs.sch.uk) in advance.

Letters about the evening are also going home with the Year 11 students to give us an indication of numbers expected.
