Year 11 Information Evening – 24 September 2020

As Head of Year 11, I should like to invite you to a Year 11 Information Evening on Thursday 24 September from 6 -7 pm. Given the challenges COVID has created around large gatherings, we have taken the decision to deliver this as a live stream event. At this event you will have the opportunity to see and ask questions with the new form tutors for this coming year, , Ms Master, Mr Marsden, Mrs Arshad, Ms Hussain and Ms Carroll. This year is likely to be one of the most important years in the education of your son/daughter so far. It is also be, for many, a most stressful and yet rewarding year, this year uncertainty and difficulties will no doubt add the stress your son and daughter are likely to experience 

We have extremely high standards and expectations of our students at Batley Grammar School and it is vitally important that we have your support working together to ensure the success of your son/daughter so they achieve their full potential.The outcome of this year will shape their future and, if successful, allow them to pursue an education and career course of their choosing. For some their future career direction may be clear, whilst for others there may be less certainty and they need to keep their options open.Organisation is the key to the success during this year. The workload will, at times, be considerable and demanding but prior planning and preparation will help spread that work load. The Pre Public Exams in December will provide each student with an effective guide as to how they are performing and what needs to be done for further improvement to ensure GCSE exam successes in the summer of 2021. There are many strategies in place to maximise your son/daughter’s ongoing performance throughout Year 11. This may include any of the following: form time intervention, after school intervention, differentiated resources, independent learning activities and support through exam revision techniques – all of which will be discussed at the Information Evening on Thursday 24 September.On the evening there will be key information that will enable school and home to work effectively together to help your son/daughter achieve their full potential and to ensure that you, as parents/carers, are fully informed of key dates and events that are happening in school.

I really do hope your son/daughter reach or exceed their targets and have enjoyed the last four years here at Batley Grammar School.
