We were delighted to welcome parents and carers to our Year 9 Transition Workshop on 17th March, focused on supporting pupils as they prepare for the move into Key Stage 4. The session explored the key changes in Year 10, including increased academic challenge, the importance of reading and vocabulary, and how strong routines and independent learning habits underpin GCSE success.
Parents also gained valuable insight into how we support pupils with exam preparation, wellbeing, and access arrangements, alongside practical strategies to support learning at home. A key message throughout the workshop was the significant impact that consistent attendance has on achievement and long-term success.
The feedback from parents and carers was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting how informative and reassuring the session was:
- “Really helpful in understanding what Year 10 will look like and how I can support at home.”
- “Clear, informative and gave practical advice we can use straight away.”
- “It was reassuring to know what support is available for pupils.”
We would like to thank the parents and carers who attended. Workshops like these play an important role in strengthening the partnership between home and school, ensuring every pupil feels confident, supported, and ready for the next stage of their learning journey.
