Once your child starts their journey at Pudsey Sixth Form College, you will be invited to regular parent meetings and stay connected with regular updates. We value our relationships with parents and guardians, and recognise your important role in supporting our students throughout their education.
Every student will be assigned a coach who will support them during their education journey – monitoring their progress, development and meeting them for a weekly tutorial. You will be able to contact your child’s coach at any time throughout the year to arrange a meeting, should you have any queries or concerns.
You will be able to access our online portal via our website at any time of the year. Here, you can find information regarding their attendance, progress and assessment grades for each subject.
If your child is below 18 years of age, we will send you a full written progress report covering each of their subjects, with feedback from each tutor.
You will also receive our termly newsletter brimming with good news stories, upcoming events, opportunities for your child and what’s been happening around campus. We also want to welcome you to share the success of our students at events held throughout the year.
At key academic intervals throughout the year, you will be invited to attend Parents’ Evenings to discuss your child’s progress with their subject teachers. Additionally, our Parents’ Progression Evening offers valuable insights into future opportunities, with expert advice on ‘next steps’ and how your child can maximise their potential.
We also want to welcome you to share the success of our students at events held throughout the year. The annual Awards evening, for example, is an important date in the calendar to which you are warmly invited.
Here at Pudsey Sixth Form College, safeguarding your children and looking after their wellbeing is our number one priority. In order for us to do this, it is important that we ensure your child’s emergency contact details are up to date, just in case we can’t get hold of them directly. If you have changed telephone numbers recently, or wish for another contact number to be added to your child’s record, please get in touch with the college by emailing contact@leedscitycollege.ac.uk so we can update the record.
