To Year 10 parents: 

Please find attached The Parents’ Guide to Getting Ahead in the Summer Holidays 2021 which aims to provide parents with strategies to help support your child make the right choices to create successful futures after GCSE and beyond.

The Parents Guide to Getting Ahead in the Summer Holidays  This helpful guide will equip you with useful insights about the upcoming transition to sixth form and college and how best to support your child to manage this, and also gives tips on supporting young people with managing exam worries.

You will also find suggestions of how to help your child get ahead for next year, including signposting to online courses and virtual work experience placements that will both help them to develop key employability skills and stand out at college interviews.

Please take a look through the attached guide, and do let me know if you have any questions or queries.

Best wishes,
