G28 IMPORTANT DATES: GCSE Info Evening, Sixth-Form and College Open Evenings

By Martin Said18th September 2025

An important part of this year will be considering Post-16 options for the next stages in your child’s education and training. Throughout this year, we will continue to work with students to help them to make good decisions about what they want to do and where they want to go after their time at XP.

G28: GCSE and Post-16 Information Evening – Monday 6th October

We will be hosting an information evening for all G28 families on Monday 6th October at 6pm. This will include information on supporting your child through Year 11 examinations, as well as guidance around helping them to make choices for Post-16 pathways.

 

Our local colleges and sixth forms also host a range of Open Evenings for students and their families to find out more about the courses that they offer. We are sharing these links and dates (where published) now so you can plan if you would like to attend.
