Dear Parents/Carers,
RE: Year 11 Expectations evening – Wednesday 10th September 2025 (16:00 – 17:00)
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you and your child to year 11. The staff at Leigh Academy Strood are excited to embark on this journey together to ensure that your child has the best possible opportunity to be successful within their year 11 examination series.
In module 6 of the last academic year we saw an incredible attendance to our year 10 mock results evening. We thank those parents/carers that attended and hope that the information provided supported the pupils’ preparation over the summer holidays.
This evening is a great opportunity for parents to get a clear picture of how we’re supporting your child’s journey this year. We’ll be sharing information on key dates, offering subject-specific advice to help with revision, and outlining the support systems we have in place. Additionally, we will provide important information regarding Sixth Form options to help you and your child plan for the future.
Throughout this academic year we will look to invite parents/carers into school more regularly to gain a deeper insight into what we are doing and what parents/carers can do to support the child’s development. Research shows that parental engagement has a significant impact on the progress made by a child. Research using data from the National Child Development Study (NCDS) to analyse the impact of parental engagement found that very high parental interest is associated with better exam results compared to children whose parents show no interest.
We look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday 10th September from 16.00 – 17.00. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
Yours sincerely,
Mr S. Fatania | Assistant Principal
