Dear Parents, Carers and Students,

Key stage 4 is one of the most important periods in a student’s school career. At Sydney Russell School our staff work hard to help ensure it is an enjoyable and productive experience which results in good examination results and a clear pathway to further study and eventually a rewarding career.

We are inviting you to the Subject Information Evening on Thursday 25th of February to learn more about expectations at key stage 4.

Upper Band at 6pm in the Main Hall
Middle Band at 6pm in the Library
Fast Track at 7pm in the Main Hall

On arrival you will receive a booklet to support your son/daughter in expressing their subject preference for the next stage of their learning and a preference form which you will need to carefully fill it in and returned by the deadline shown below.

Note: It is important that subject preferences are not based on a particular teacher (he or she may not be teaching the subject next year); not because a subject is seen as “easy” (there are no easy subjects); not because a subject is simply “new”.  Instead, encourage your son/daughter to take into account three main criteria: personal strengths and weaknesses; keeping open a wide range of career choices and achieving a balanced range of subjects.

I wish you all well in your decision-making and look forward to an excellent set of results in the near future.

Your Sincerely

Ms J. Davies
Principal

Deadline for returning the Preference Forms: Friday 4th March 2016
