Parent/Carer Involvement

Throughout your child’s time at Swanwick School and Sports College you will be actively encouraged to be involved in assisting their child in making realistic and positive choices regarding their future.

 Parent/ Carers are informed of progress within, Annual Reviews, Parent / Carer Consultation evenings and on Mid- Term and End of year School Reports.

 We will harness your views through an annual coffee morning to meet the careers team in school. This will be an opportunity for you to receive a presentation about careers education at Swanwick School and Sports College and ask any questions you have about your child’s future.

Parents will be invited to attend the ‘what’s next’ event held in Derbyshire to encourage and support Parent/ Carers to visit post 16 providers either through open events or individual planned visits with their child to help with making the right positive choice.

 When your child reaches year 10 you will be invited into school to meet with our external careers advisor. This will ensure you are part of the action planning document that our careers advisor and your child work on throughout their time at key stage four.

A Parent/ Carer information evening is held early in the new school year to advise and support parent/carers of students in year 11, on the next step after Swanwick School & Sports College and how the students are prepared in school for their transition into a post 16 provision.
