At Glossopdale Sixth Form we recognise the vital role that parents and carers play in supporting students through their post-16 education. This stage of study is an important stepping stone between school and university, apprenticeships, or employment, and we want to work in close partnership with families to help every student succeed.

Parent Handbook

Our Parent Handbook is the main source of information you’ll need to support your child throughout their Sixth Form journey.
It contains guidance on:

• Key contacts within the Sixth Form team

• Attendance and punctuality expectations

• Independent study and homework routines

• Academic support and intervention

• Enrichment opportunities and wider Sixth Form life

• Wellbeing and pastoral support

• Key dates for the academic year

You can download the handbook here:

Staying Informed

• Website & MCAS App – Important updates will be posted on our website and sent directly to parents and carers

• Progress Reports – Reports will be issued throughout the year to show progress and next steps

• Parents’ Evenings – Dedicated evenings give you the chance to meet subject teachers and discuss progress

• Open Communication – Parents and carers are always welcome to get in touch with the Sixth Form team if they have questions or concerns

Working Together

We believe the most successful Sixth Form experience comes when students, staff, and parents are working in partnership. Your support at home – helping your child manage their time, maintain attendance, and balance study with wellbeing – makes a significant difference.
