Dear Parent/Carer,
Year 10 - Requests for Support
I am writing to you following my letter of 3
rd June and the subsequent survey and to re-affirm that we are continuing to offer support to our students with their Home Learning during the College closure.
As previously explained, we are offering support in four ways:
- Home Learning support through Google Classroom:
- Through effective resources
- Through assignments for students to demonstrate their learning
- Through secure dialogue for students with their teachers and Pastoral Leaders
This is currently in place and will remain in place for all of our students throughout the College closure and beyond. Students can communicate directly and securely with their teachers through this platform. All Home Learning is now available on Google Classroom and you can find guidance to access it and links to the resources on the Homework section of our website.
If you have any technical difficulties accessing these resources, then please email us: techsupport@sjhcsc.co.uk.
- Subject/Academic mentoring from teachers:
- Face to face dialogue with teachers for students and parent(s) through video conferencing (for Year 10 and Year 12 students only in the first instance)
- Dialogue with teachers for parents over the phone
- Dialogue with teachers for parents via email
In addition to Home Learning support, we will provide parents/carers with the opportunity to request appointments with specific teachers to discuss students’ subject specific progress or, to request appointments with Learning Mentors for more general academic support.
- Pastoral support:
- Dialogue with the Pastoral team for parents over the phone
- Dialogue with the Pastoral team for parents via email
The pastoral team can provide support for students and their families either directly through appointments with a member of the Pastoral team, and/or through signposting families to a range of support that is available to them.
- SEND support:
- Dialogue with SEND team for parents over the phone
- Dialogue with SEND team for parents via email
The SEND team will provide support for students with SEND through appointments with a member of the SEND team for general academic support, for specific advice relating to learning needs, or through signposting families to SEND support that is available.
We welcome you all to request an appointment to receive any of the support listed above. We will be sending out a survey every two weeks so that there is time for parents/carers to request the support and for us to arrange the appointments. The survey is now open until 22
nd June. We ask that you follow this link and indicate what support you would like to receive.
