Upper School and Community College
Academic excellence Shared values Outstanding education
We regard a constructive and helpful dialogue between
school and parents as very important in contributing to the
effectiveness of our students’ education. Through
monitoring, reports and parents’ evenings, parents are
closely involved and well informed of progress and problems.
l
Each student will be based in a form group with a form
tutor. The form tutor will form a close relationship with the
student and they will oversee academic and personal
development.
l
The form tutor will also oversee progress checks, reports
for parents and will help write university and career
references.
l
The year team will work closely with form tutors and
oversee the academic progress and supervise the general
welfare of all students.
l
At regular parents’ evenings subject staff report on
academic progress.
l
Detailed reports are written annually for students in Years
12 and 13. However, the form tutor or year team will
contact parents whenever there is any cause for concern.
l
The year team meets parents to explain the university
entrance procedures including financial information.
Partnership with Parents in the Sixth Form
