WELCOME to Oasis Academy Mayfield’s first Raising Achievement Evening of the 2020-21 academic year. We are sure you will agree that Year 11 is a crucially important year for your child. With this in mind, we want to empower you with the knowledge of what to expect this year with the intention of raising your child’s attainment at the end of Year 11. Within this booklet you will find a detailed overview for each subject. In particular you will see the topics studied at each stage throughout the year, support available to your child and guidance towards resources for how you can support your child with their learning. This is provided to enable you to have learning conversations with your child. Should you have further questions, or require further detail on each course, please contact your child’s tutor or class teacher in the first instance. Alternatively, contact the Head of Department for the subject who can re-direct your queries on to the relevant teacher. To submit a query, and if you are unsure who to direct your query to, please email [email protected].
