18. Task… Top five ways you can help your child succeed! The key facts…
Keep in contact. Attend parents’ evenings, phone or the tutor, pop in you have any concerns.
Ask your child questions about College and stay interested in the student’s subjects – getting the student to talk about what they have learnt will also be making them reflect and revise subconsciously
If possible, help your child to establish a work space at home, away from distractions. They will need to spend a substantial part of their week on their studies. If this is problematic, support them to use the college work spaces as we remain open after classes end and throughout holiday periods.
Encourage students to take part in trips, enrichment and activity outside of college so they develop as individuals.
Make sure they get to bed!
