Your child will now be in secondary school and the learning will have gone up a gear. Although
everything they learnt in primary is relevant the information about each subject is much more in-
depth and the breadth of subjects is much wider.
Students are expected to be independent and responsible for managing their work and
completing homework.
Work will be graded through homework and end-of-unit assessments.
This is where work gets serious and the focus is
on laying the groundwork so that students will
have the best opportunity to perform in their
GCSE’s.
Students will have to be more organised and will
be given a diary from school to help them plan homework and tests, as well as being a great
communication tool with parents.
It is important for students to really stay on the
work now and not let anything slide.
