Supporting students this term

A message for parents and guardians from Cheri Ashby, Deputy Chief Executive, Activate Learning.

I hope you’re well and that your young person is looking forward to what promises to be an exciting second half of the autumn term, with lots of opportunities to learn, develop and take part in wider enrichment activities.

I wanted to take some time to remind you about the importance of student attendance. It is important to bear in mind that the higher your young person’s attendance is, the better their chances of success will be at their chosen programme of study.

If your young person has not been attending their lessons as much as they would like to, it’s not too late for them to make a difference to their learning journey! Our campuses are welcoming, safe and vibrant spaces and we want to give all our students the very best chance of success by encouraging them to learn at their best.

Please remind your young person to turn up to their lessons on time and ready to learn, so that they will not be missing any crucial content, and they will be able to complete their assessments on time.

Support is available for any students who need it. Please encourage your son or daughter to talk to their teacher or to a member of our Safeguarding team if we can be of any help during their time with us.

We want all our students to enjoy their time at college and be successful on their career pathway.
