Parent Partnership
At The City of Leicester College we value and recognise the importance of parental involvement in the life of the school.
Throughout our website the term parent is used to refer to parents, guardians and carers. We believe that education is a collaborative enterprise involving amongst others, parents, staff and children. As a school we are therefore committed to establishing and maintaining an effective and purposeful working relationship between the school and home.
Parent Drop-in Sessions
We are not only dedicated to helping our students - but we would like to offer support and guidance for parents by use of weekly drop-in sessions. Parent drop-in sessions will be run by our college leadership team who will be available every Wednesday morning between 8:30am and 9:45am in the main reception to answer any of your questions.
Parental Information Evening
We held our first Parental Information Evening on Wednesday 6th September 2023. It was a great chance to share some of our success stories; how we approach teaching and learning and; the huge number of pastoral provisions we offer as a school. The main aim was to help parents understand better how we work and then understand how they can support their child to be even more successful. The presentations were well received and the college leadership team were able to have lots of great conversations with parents at the end of the evening. If you were unable to attend or did attend and want a reminder of anything that was covered, the presentations are available below for you to view.
