Dear Parent/ Guardian,
Welcome to our Option Marketplace event. I hope that you will find the event useful and informative, and that you have the opportunity to speak with subject teachers who can give you more details about the courses on offer and answer any questions you or your child has. Mrs Bury, our Information and Guidance specialist, is available to discuss any careers issues you may have and we also have a number of colleges who are able to offer an insight into future courses that your child’s option choices may open up. May I remind you of our next event in the Options process on the evening of Wednesday 30th January. On that evening we are offering students and Parents the opportunity to take part in taster lessons to help them better understand some of the courses on offer and to sample learning styles and strategies used in Yr 10 & Yr 11.
