How do you know how well they are doing?

Students receive on going assessments so that we

can ensure progress is being made.
You are informed formally of their levels in a
report card approximately twice per term.
This includes a number of report cards and one
full report containing comments from all teachers
and the Tutor.
There will also be parent consultation evenings.
In September there will be an Academic
Induction Evening with a chance for the whole
reporting cycle and other curriculum details to be
discussed with Heads of Year and Tutors.
