Dear Family,
We hope this letter finds you well and full of enthusiasm for the final 6 months of your child’s educational journey with us here at The St Lawrence Academy. The reason for this letter is to invite you to our:
“Ingredients of Success Evening ”
on Tuesday 15th December 2026 – 4:00pm – 6:30pm
This evening has been hugely successful in the past, and is an opportunity for Year 11 students to receive their academy predictions, and for you as a family to speak to staff and receive all the information you will need in order to prepare for their final months at the academy.
The East Wing, West Wing and Central Atrium will be open for you to walk around at your own pace, and speak to a whole host of people that includes;
● Careers & Aspirations
● Effective Revision
● Exam Day Ready
● Academic Apps (how to use them)
● WellBeing
● Attendance
● Managing Device Time
● Parental Feedback
● Further Education Colleges
● University Representatives
● Apprenticeship Providers
● Local Businesses
● All Subject staff
● The Head of Year
● SENDCo
We very much hope that you will join us in order to understand what we are doing to support our wonderful Year 11 students and what you can do too as they enter the fi nal few months of their TSLA learning Journey.
In addition to this we would like you to tell us where we can do better and where you think we could improve. This can be done during the evening with questionnaires before you leave. We value this tremendously.
Dates for your diary moving forwards are,
● Tuesday 15th December 2026 – “Ingredients of Success Evening”
● Wednesday 14th April 2027 – “Year 11 Final Push Evening”
We hope that everyone can attend this evening and all those attending will be entered into a prize draw.
Please confirm whether you will be attending or not via Evolve
We will be taking time to remind students about the importance of this event, and how missing key educational activities could ultimately aff ect their fi nal results and eligibility to attend leavers’ celebrations. We are passionate about success and above all providing help, so please help us by sending your confi rmation that you will be attending as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely
