Dear Parents and Carers,

We are delighted to invite you to the Academy on Thursday, 12th December, for your child’s Post 16 Meet Your Coach and Teacher day (MYCAT).

What is MYCAT?
At the MYCAT event, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with your child’s coach and subject teachers to discuss their progress and areas for development. These meetings will cover your child’s academic targets, and during the coaching conversation, you’ll be able to discuss their destination plans for next year. This event will be incredibly valuable as your child approaches their public examinations and coursework deadlines.

Additional Information Available at MYCAT:

• Family Support: Information on support services available for families from Community groups.

• Revision Resources and Guides: A chance to explore available revision materials and resources from subject teachers 

What Will Happen on the Day?
On Thursday, 12th December, the Academy will finish lessons at 12:35 p.m., allowing for appointments from 1:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. By offering times during both the afternoon and early evening, we aim to accommodate all families. Lunch will be available for students from 12:35 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Booking Your Appointments
You can book appointments with your child’s teachers and coach via Arbor, using the parental portal. Appointment bookings will be open until 10th December. If you experience any issues with the booking system, please contact the office. We encourage you to book your coaching appointment with Miss Brigham or Mr Lipinski in addition to the subject teachers. 

We look forward to seeing you on the 12th December. If you have any further questions regarding this event, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely 

F Brigham, Key Stage 5 Leader
