Dear Parent / Guardian,
The Maths Department are coming to the end of their initial induction phase. Within the next week we will be looking to enrol students on to either the AS Maths course or the AS Use of Maths course. We have worked hard to ensure that all students and parents are aware of the work we are doing to make sure students are on the best Maths course to enable their success. We have given lots of advice and guidance at open evenings, our visits to schools, our Make a Move with Maths event, the college taster day, a letter sent home at enrolment and staff have been reinforcing the importance of the induction period during lessons. Over the induction period your son / daughter will have completed:
An induction task (windsurfer on the front) 4 homeworks (GCSE recap homework – green front cover) 2 mini tests. Downloaded and completed a homework from the college VLE. An induction test under exam conditions. Chapter test for AS Completing the square. Chapter test for AS Surds.
All of these assessments have been developed over the years to determine which course your son / daughter will be most successful on. Over the next week, we will work with your son / daughter to determine the best choice for them based on their career aspirations and progress so far. If you have any questions at all then please do not hesitate to contact me. Kind regards,
David Kay Head of Maths david.kay@asfc.ac.uk
