Y​ear 11 Success Evening

As part of our continuing support for your child, we are holding a Year 11 parental event called ‘Success in Core’ on Monday 9th September. The evening is an opportunity for our pupils to work alongside their parents/guardians to learn more about how to best prepare for their final examinations next summer in the core subjects of English, Maths and Science. Activities will include:

• · Strategies for how to revise effectively in each subject.
• · Study materials to use at home.
• · Hints and tips for how parents/guardians can best offer support and guidance.
• · Tips for good mental wellbeing during Year 11.
• · Opportunity to meet post 16 providers and find out more about life after Hillside.

I am sure you will agree, it is very important that your child is properly prepared for their examinations and these activities will provide them with crucial examination techniques and a clear direction as to what they need to be studying between now and final exams.

Feedback from parent of Year 11 Leaver:

“Attending the Success Evening provided me with an insight into how the year would pan out, what to expect in terms of assessments and final exams and the various support that was in place for my son to access. I felt that school made me a part of the plan for tackling GCSEs and I came away fully equipped not only for the learning and revision ahead but for the wellbeing of my son and the various ways to manage his mental health. I think knowing that I was included and had all the necessary tools and contacts at hand, made him more focused.”

Light refreshments will be provided during the workshops.

The evening will begin at 5.45pm and finish at approximately 8pm. Attendance is essential to support your child in achieving their target grades.
