Support Available in School
In school, we follow a programme of events designed to help students to know what they should be doing at each stage of their preparation.
Coursework help sessions will be available for students after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays in L27.
Please encourage your child to make the most of the websites that we subscribe to as a school. These are Sparx Maths and Tassomai. These sites are excellent, and students just need to click the “login with Microsoft” button - so, no passwords to remember.
We have made some videos on how to help students revise and study. These are again on our website here: How to Maximise Your Progress - Top Tips
Important Dates & Forthcoming Events
For more detailed information about the support in place, please see the monthly letters below.
Super Saturdays
We are offering “Super Saturdays” again this year. Super Saturdays run from 9am to 12pm on a Saturday morning, in the Sixth Form building. The first one will be on Saturday 10th October and they will run until the exams, but not during holidays.
Students can choose to attend, but they should bring past papers to complete, have homework or coursework to work on during this time. The school computers will be available. There will be staff on hand to help and ensure they are working. To take part in Super Saturdays please sign your child up by completing the form here: Super Saturday Sign Up - Autumn 2026
If you tell us that your child is due to attend on a particular day and they don't arrive, we will call you on the phone number you leave on the form or email you to let you know they have not arrived.
What Your Child is Currently Studying
To help parents and carers to engage with students learning and encourage them to work hard and take an interest in the subjects they are studying, we have section on our website where you can see which topics students are studying each half term. What We Teach and When We Teach
Revision
Staff will be starting several revision sessions after school that will help your child prepare for the November mock exams. There is no need to sign up for these, your child can turn up after school.
