Year 12 Conference

Year 12 parents will have seen this already:

You are warmly invited to the Year 12 Conference on Friday, 12th February at 4.00 p.m.

Year 12 is a challenging transition for the students with increased workloads in preparation for their public exams in May and June and the forthcoming January module results to consider. The AS results play an important part in teacher predictions for pupils’ university applications, so Year 12 really does have as much of an impact on their future as Year 13. We feel that this conference will give teachers, parents and students the opportunity to review performance to date and look together at work plans and revision for the Easter Holidays.

Year 12 will receive a full written report in March. This will include predicted grades for AS and a ‘mock’ result derived from a cumulative series of practice exams. Because of the impact on teaching time we do not hold a formal mock examination week, but pupils are made fully aware of the significance of these practice exams.

On arrival at 4.00 p.m. please make your way to the Sports Hall to register. The Conference will end at 6.00 p.m.

It is helpful to the teachers if we know in advance who will be coming to the meeting. If we do not hear from you we will assume you cannot make it on this occasion.
