Academic Tutoring Day - Wednesday 17th March

This is to remind all parents that our 2nd and final Academic Tutoring Day of this year will be held on Wednesday 17th March. This day will however be slightly different from previous Academic Tutoring Days. All students will need to attend school as normal between 8:30am and 10:30am. Each year group will have particular activities laid on at these times and the clear expectation is that all students attend. Academic Tutoring Interviews will then start from 11:00am and run for the rest of the day. Students may either leave school at approximately 10:30am to return whenever their appointment is scheduled, or remain in school and wait for
their appointment. Should students wish to remain in school then the canteen and LRC will be open all day giving students a place to stay and get on with work. H6 and the Common Room will be open for 6th Formers. We have made this change in response to national guidance on such days and also in response to a survey that I recently carried out of around 450 students and parents, many of whom requested extra activities to be run on these days. We will be trialling this new format on 17th March and then review it before deciding how Academic
Tutoring Days will run next year.

Achievement Co-ordinators will shortly be writing home with full details. Mr L Preston, Assistant Head KS4
