Year 9 Parents’ Evening and Options Information

On Tuesday 24th January 2023 we hosted an on-site Parents’ Evening for English, Maths and Science teachers. There will also be the facility to book an appointment with the SEND team if your child is on the SEND register. You will be required to book appointments for Maths, English, Science and SEND (if applicable) using our Parents Evening System.  At the same time as the Parents’ Evening, we are hosting an Options Event where students and parents/carers will be able to discuss the courses with Teachers – there will also be a talk from Mr Hagen on the Options Process and the opportunity to ask any questions.
