Parent Information

Supporting your child

As students move from Year 11 to Sixth Form some parents experience uncertainty about how much they should be involved in their child’s education. The Sixth Form is a period of transition from compulsory education to the independence of Higher Education or the world of work but the three-way partnership of student, school and parent remains crucial for successful learning. We aim to work with you in supporting your son/daughter by providing regular progress updates and contacting you in the event of concerns.

All new Year 12 parents/carers are invited to attend a Parent/Carer Information Evening in September. There are Parent/Carer Evenings in both Years 12 and 13 as well as 3 assessment points, when student progress is recorded by their teachers (see Key Dates section). Additionally in March of Year 12 we hold a Higher Education Evening to launch the UCAS application process for those students wishing to further their studies at university.

In the event of unacceptable behaviour or attitude from a Sixth Form student, parents/carers will be contacted and asked to come into the school to discuss the best way forward for the student. A copy of the Sixth Form Disciplinary Policy can be obtained from sixthform@alsagerschool.org
