The Kingsway School believes that the partnership between home and school is an important aspect in helping the individual student to learn and achieve. Good and regular communication between these partners is therefore vital.
We have identified, as a major priority, the enhancement of student performance. The reporting of all aspects of student performance to parents is an important element of this. Therefore, parents/guardians will receive monitoring data once a term.
As we move towards new qualifications at GCSE, we are in the process of changing our systems of assessment so that we are in line with new requirements.
