9. So WHAT DO I PICK ? What am I good at?
Best vs most enjoyable ( Tracking, reports, Teacher conversations/ feedback )
What do I want to do?
What do I need to do?
Are there coursework elements which I am good at?
@CHS_CHRYSTON

10. Your role?
Discuss report card, what does your child enjoy? What are they doing well in? What career path would they like to follow?
Ask your Son / Daughter why they are picking subjects?
Discuss alternative choices
Ask advice from staff at parents’ evening.
Above all – be supportive, pupils will have an idea of what they are good at, what they enjoy and that should be enough to guide them along the right lines.
