Dear Parent/Carer
Re: Year 11 Parent Information Evening, Thursday 11th September
A key part of the continuing success of your child is the partnership that we have with you. In order to develop this further, we are holding an information evening on Thursday, 11th September 2025 for Year 11 parents/carers as Year 11 students are now at a crucial stage in their GCSE studies.
The purpose of the evening will be to provide information on GCSE examinations, specifications, and the grading system, with specific details relating to the core subjects of English, Mathematics, and Science.
During the Information Evening, we will be providing information on the following:
- The Year 11 timeline from September through to GCSE results in August 2026
- Extra-curricular support and interventions
- Updates on the English, Maths, and Science courses
- An overview of Post-16 at Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy
- Strategies to support your son/daughter through Year 11
We are splitting the evening into two sessions at the following times:
- Shakespeare and Seacole students and parents 4:45pm – 5:45pm
- Mandela and Curie students and parents 6 pm – 7 pm
Depending on the number of requests, there may be an opportunity to meet with our SENCO or a member of the SEN team. Please can we ask you to RSVP on this Google form to confirm your attendance?
We look forward to meeting you. Yours faithfully
Sarah Forde | Vice Principal – Curriculum and examinations lead
