ENGLISH AND MATHS GCSE
If students are aged 16-18 and do not have a
grade 4 / C or above in their GCSE English and
maths, then they must continue to study these
subjects as part of their study programme. This is
government legislation and applies to all students
irrespective of where they study. We understand
re-sitting can cause students frustration so your
support is very welcome!
PARENTS’ EVENINGS
As a parent of a Kirklees College student, you
will be invited in for parents’ evenings and be
kept up to date with information about your
son/daughter’s progress but of course you can
contact us at any time if you have any concerns
or worries. All students can access their Electronic
Individual Learning Plan (eILP) using their own
electronic devises any time of day. This is a great
way of monitoring how they are doing in college.
As a parent you will have access to ‘MyStudent’
which is designed to give you key information
about your son/daughter’s progress at college.
Once registered you can search for important
information relating to attendance, punctuality
and completion of assessments.
SUPPORT
Your son/daughter will have access to a variety
of learning assistants and mentors if they need
help, including a confidential counselling service.
Find out more in the ‘Supporting you’ section of
the prospectus on page 170.
