Go 4 Schools is our online portal where you can access to all information about your child. This includes assessment results, timetables, attendance, behaviour and homework. It is also where you access termly progress reports. Information about how to access this system can be found in the attached document.
A reminder that we are now able to offer the Go4Schools app which should make use of the system far easier. At present you can see information regarding student timetable, attainment, attendance, behaviour and homework.
For more information, including how to download the app, please access the parent guide on the Go4Schools website:
Following the communication we sent yesterday regarding Year 10 Progress Tests, it has been noticed that the link to the document is not working correctly. We have also had to re-schedule some of the tests and have now created a new timetable.
The new timetable can be viewed on this link:

Revision guides specifically written for the AQA Geography specification which we study are available to purchase via ParentPay for £4. Once paid please ask your son/daughter to ask their teacher and they will give one to them. Thanks - Miss Starkie.
Year 11 will be doing a non-calculator assessment during a lesson next week. This will be on any GCSE work covered so far since Year 10. We will use this test to identify gaps in student knowledge to help us support them moving forward.
Kind regards,
The Maths Department.
