This document provides information for parents on how to become engaged with their child's learning at college. It defines the difference between parental involvement, which is supporting a child's attendance at school functions, and parental engagement, which is actively partnering with the school in improving a child's learning. The benefits of engagement are outlined as better student outcomes, positive relationships between home and school, and helping all parties better understand expectations and student needs. Various forms of engagement are described, such as helping with homework, communicating with teachers, volunteering at school, and serving as a school governor. The document also previews some of the programs and initiatives students will encounter over the coming academic year.

Editor's Notes
- PiXL Endurance is a strategy (with supporting resource) designed to help students develop exam related stamina and resilience in the period before they take their exams. We know that students are being well prepared at school for the content they will face in their exams and all of us are working hard to help them identify their weaknesses and to address them, assess them regularly and equip them as best we are able. However, sometimes students fail to help themselves. We know of the students who after eating a doughnut, some fizzy sw eets and a can of energy drink, think they are prepared to sit their exams. We know that some of them are not sleeping enough, not developing good working habits, finding it difficult t o know what to do first. We also know that issues around mental health are on the rise – s tudents who find the pressure and intensity of an exam period overwhelming and the expectation on them crippling. The PiXL Endurance strategy is focused on the whole child through the lens of the 3Cs: how to help them understand and grasp the Currency, how to help them develop their Character and how to help them create a Culture that is conducive to effective learning. The strategy is made up of 3 parts:
- Each area focuses on different elements of resilience and stamina with stories taken from the world of sport and from other successful people in the world of business and education. The material will be used by teachers for assemblies and in lessons plus we’ll be sharing it with parents of Year 11 at a workshop on the 13th February – just before the final run in to exams. Students in KS4 and KS5 face a huge challenge – 100% terminal exams. They will sit more exams, for a longer period of time and they will be harder. Students will need to develop their stamina in order to succeed. As busy adults, many of us bemoan our inability t o find the time to exercise; we suffer aches and pains from sitting all day at a desk and yet never more has the ‘wellness’ lifestyle been seen as a badge of honour. In short, we are fast becoming a nation of two halves, not so much the haves and have-nots so much as the movers and move-nots. Power to perform focuses in on the health and well-being elements and provides resources and strategies
- We have a range of strategies to assist students with their examinations. Many of the terms we use may be new to you so I thought I’d share them with you PiXL – An organisation that comprises about half the schools in the UK. They offer support and advice to schools and we buy some of their services – like the PiXL Maths and English Lit apps you’ll hear about in a minute Walking Talking Mocks
- 34% have logged in last term. More parents than this have logged in
- Keep the motivation up – Encourage hard work in lessons and getting on to extension and problem solving tasks. At home agree a work/social life balance, agree ‘a cannot do it yet’ attitude – not to give up if they find a topic hard or do badly on an assessment Get ready for revision – ask them to show you their Maths book regularly , make sure they bring it home and read through notes made in lessons, ask them to show you their homework and how much work they have completed – they could start to make summary notes in a separate book of key learning –in Maths we ask the students to write down important key learning in Pink pen so it is easy to identify when they look back – ensure they have one Encourage good study skills – In Year 10 and Year 11 they are doing homework every week – do you see them doing it at home – have they take time to write out the questons and worked solutions – ask, do they have a designated quiet space to work?
