Every student in the academy is assessed formally on a termly basis and data is reported to parents along with information about whether or not your child is on track to achieve their target grade. Once per year this data is accompanied by summary comments from the form tutor and head of yea/student performance leaders.

At each Assessment Point the SENDCo, along with the Senior Leadership Team, analyses the data of students with SEND to ensure they are making progress in line with their peers. If students are not making, or are not on track to make expected progress, appropriate intervention and sourcing of any additional support will be put in place.

The Student Planner provides the opportunity for regular home-academy contact. Parents are able to see rewards received for good behaviour, comments about negative behaviour and homework.

There is a Parents’ Evening for each year group every school year, with an additional evening for Year 7 students to review the transition from primary school.

Throughout the year, there are opportunities for parents to attend ENGAGE evenings. At these times, parents are invited to come and experience lessons alongside their son or daughter and receive advice on further supporting their learning at home.
