102

This is the number of parents who have very kindly completed the Parent View questionnaire so far, a rise of 9 since last weeks' newsletter. The previous data was erased when we became and academy and we would be very grateful if as many parents as possible could fill in this on-line form so we can use the information in our college self evaluation and action planning. www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/. This is a key document for OfSTED and we really need your help. Its fantastic news we have reached our target of 100, we are now aiming for 200 before the next half term.

Parents as Partners: Mobile Telephones Parents and students are reminded that all students’ mobile ‘phones must be switched off between 8:55am and 3:15pm and not be used for any reason during the day. Failure to comply with this rule may result in items being confiscated which will have to be collected from College by a parent. If a student is ill and uses the ‘sick room’, then the office staff must contact home, not the student on their mobile ‘phone. Thank you for your on-going support wit this matter.
