Letters Emails

We upload parent information letters to Firefly every Friday.

We encourage an open dialogue but also we politely request that teachers are given time to respond. In an emergency please contact Miss Noble and she will respond as quickly as she can.

Parents’ Evening

There is a Parents Evening each year when parents and students meet with teachers to discuss academic progress. You will also receive one written report each year while, progress grades provide a snapshot of academic progress at regular intervals throughout the academic year. If you have any concerns during the school year, do not hesitate to contact your child’s Form Tutor.

Progress Grades

Students are given progress grades according to the schedule that will be published at the beginning of the Autumn Term. You can access these via Firefly. These grades allow Form Tutors to track your progress.

Individual Needs

The aim of our Individual Needs Policy is to ensure that every child at Habs enjoys personal and academic success. We prioritise sustaining a close partnership with parents and providing appropriate support. The Head of Academic Support co-ordinates a team consisting of specialist teachers, senior academic and senior pastoral staff. Support is delivered through various staff and programmes eg; the Form Tutor, Head of House, Deputy Head of House, subject teachers, study support sessions and learning skills programmes. Our Individual Needs policy is available on the school website.

It is important to make us aware if you have any identified specific learning needs (e.g. dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, hypermobility, visual impairments and hearing impairments) so we can provide the best support for you.

Homework

If your parents have questions about the time you spend on homework (either too little or too much), please have them get in touch with your Form Tutor. We do not want you to spend all evening working, as it is important you should have time to relax.
