Progress Review Day and Careers Convention

On Thursday 24th February we held our annual Progress Review Day and Careers Convention. This is a special opportunity for every student to look at their progress and targets with their tutor in a one-to-one meeting. We have now done this for the last five years and the day is now well established. A high percentage of parents once again attended and our feedback tells us that this day is appreciated as a real chance to consider how school work is progressing, give praise where it is due and discuss problems.

At the same time a very successful Careers Convention was held with over 30 exhibitors attending. This year there was a particular emphasis on the many food-related opportunities in the Market Drayton area. All students were encouraged to look round and make the most of the information available. We were pleasd to welcome Nick Owen and Suzanne Virdee from BBC Midlands Today as our guests at the event.
