Dear Grade 11-13 Parents,
We would like to inform you that live online lessons continue Monday 6th April as part of our continued commitment to ensuring high-quality learning for all students. All lesson timetables and zoom links for registration, pastoral meetings and general meetings for grade 11-13 will be shared on their mentor groups pages. All subject Zoom links will be posted on the relevant subject for the student, so please ensure they check regularly for updates and access information.
The content delivered during live lessons will be fully aligned with the work provided on Seesaw or through email or one drive links. Marking and feedback will be through seesaw for simple answers otherwise on one drive links or by email. Students attending live lessons will benefit from immediate support, guidance, and feedback from their teacher during Zoom sessions.
We strongly encourage all students to attend live lessons where possible, as this will enhance engagement and provide valuable opportunities for interaction and clarification. Students in G11-13 need to ensure they contact their teachers for help by leaving a voice message or written message on seesaw. Also, they should continue using their homework planners to record what they are required to complete as an ongoing record.
There will be daily registration at 09.00 am and mentors will place the link on the mentor group page. Also I will be holding meetings to clarify latest information on GCSE and IAL examinations. Students will be assessed and in a very structured way given by the examination board. Non-attendance for live lessons will impact on their overall assessment unless for emergency reasons which will require certified verification. Currently we are establishing the school protocol as formal notification was only received by me as Head of Centre on Thursday afternoon. What this entails will be shared both with students and parents. Students who are compliant with the procedures given by the school and endorsed by the examination board will receive a grade as usual; however this is not an easier option so the whole process needs to be taken seriously.
Thanking you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Jan Brettingham Ms
Principal
