Success@GCSE 2020
Every year, at this time, we hold an evening for parents to come and find out how best to support their child as they start Year 10. This year it has become a virtual event, which has allowed us to expand the advice and information from just the core subjects (English, Maths and Science) to every course we offer.
We have tried to keep the videos short so you can dip in and out and easily re-watch, but please do contact us if you would like more information in a specific area. Contact information is on the first slide of each video.
