In order to provide parents with more timely information with regards to homework concerns the Maths and English Departments are going to run a trial where they will text parents regarding homework concerns.

There are a number of reasons why we feel this will be more beneficial:

• The process is much more efficient, rather than having to wait on the post or relying on the pupil handing the letter to parents.
• We know that the parent will receive the information avoiding the requirement to remind pupils to have the tear off slip returned.
• It is a much more sustainable and environmentally friendly method.

Should we feel this is beneficial we will roll this out across all departments in the near future.

The trial will start on Monday the 30th of October.
