1. Honours Pathway Evening
Welcome
Thank you for attending

2. Why did we change our curriculum?
At Maghull High School, we want to secure the best outcomes for every student when they leave
We want our students to enjoy learning and be interested in what they study
We want them to have a broad and balanced curriculum
We want our students to have good progression routes to whichever career they wish to follow

3. How did we change?
For students in Year 8 last year, we introduced an element of choice moving into Year 9
It was a huge success, with students settling into their courses well and making good progress
Staff feedback indicates that students have been very focussed and motivated in their learning

4. What is the purpose of this evening?
This evening is an opportunity to revisit the choices made last year
It is essential to review progress made and ensure that your child is on the most appropriate pathway for them
It is an opportunity to ask any questions or clarify any concerns you may have as they move into Year 10

5. What do we recommend?
We recommend that your child maintains courses that they are enjoying and making good progress in
We would encourage your child to keep a broad range of subjects
We would discourage too much shift as they move into Year 10
NB They will need to opt for Spanish and leave one of their four existing subjects behind if they wish to continue their study of a Modern Foreign Language

6. What happens next?
When we have concluded all of our Year 9 meetings, we will need some time to analyse the feedback from students and parents
We will then contact you again to confirm your child’s courses of study for the next two years
Please be aware that we cannot guarantee anything at this stage, as the outcomes will be dependent upon timetabling and groups available

7. Any questions?
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask any member of staff present this evening
Alternatively, you can e mail Mrs Bennett at at any time
Thank you
