PARENTS ’ HANDBOOK

Studying and working after Teddies HMs work with Tutors to assess the progress of all Sixth Form pupils. In planning for life after School, Sixth Formers have access to a wide network of support, including a Head of Higher Education; tailored programmes for Oxbridge, Medicine and other highly-competitive courses; an Overseas Universities Specialist; support from our global alumni association; and a Head of Careers and Employability, who provides one to-one advice to pupils throughout their time in the Sixth Form. Advice is also available to former pupils during their gap year, if they take one, and throughout their time at university.

Academic reports Our approach at Teddies is that with parents’ support, through encouragement and active interest, we help your child to achieve his or her academic ambitions and to rise to meet academic challenges. To this end, you will receive regular updates about your son’s or daughter’s academic progress. The timings for reports, meetings and exams vary by year. Please see this link for the reporting cycle, which is published yearly: Parents’ Meetings, Reports and Exams - St Edward’s School (stedwardsoxford.org) We strongly recommend that you set aside time to discuss these reports and any future academic choices with your child.
