Messages to Parents
As we approach HT6 and are slowly closing in on the end of the Academic Year, I would like to say how proud I am of Year 7 and the start they have made upon their Educational Journey at The Garibaldi School.
Students have received their monitoring data for HT5; all students were given an ATL score and a curriculum average. This suggests wether students are Working Towards, Working at Expected or Working Above their target grade. Each Y7 student has undertaken an intervention mentoring process with their mentors, setting SMART targets to look at how they can further improve their ATL, in readiness for the last monitoring point of Y7 before transitioning into Year 8. We would really encourage that, for you, as parents to also challenge your children on their targets, which in return should initiate open-dialogue and a chance for you to get an insight into your Childs learning.
During HT6, the mentor team and I are focusing on 'raising the bar'. Our main priorities are to further amplify the standards and expectations of the year group. In doing so, improving attendance, punctuality to lessons, ATL and behaviour. I will be communicating with parents about the above, as achieving these things together will ensure that all students are the best versions of themselves. As such, will ensure that all students are equipped with the tools, to go onto be, just as, if not more successful in Year 8.
Head of Year: Miss J Humphries
