Knowing and supporting every student…. The move from primary to secondary education can often be daunting and we strive to make the transition as smooth and successful as possible. There are two elements at the heart of that transition: students’ welfare and students’ learning. We meet, and get to know, our young people when they are in Year 6. At this time it has been more challenging, but we have met with Year 6 teachers virtually to help us to get to know you better. You have also had opportunities throughout the year to the visit the school, too. The progress of the students across each Key Stage rests with the Directors of Learning for Key Stage 3 (Y7-9), Key Stage 4 (Y10-11) and the Director of Sixth Form Studies. Miss Cooke is the Director for Learning KS3 and will be supporting your child as they begin their learning at MCS. The Form Tutor oversees the learning of each student and is also responsible for such matters as progress in learning, attendance, behaviour, punctuality, appearance and health. The Form Tutor or Director of Learning is generally the best person to contact to discuss your child, either by telephone or by appointment.
