Working with you to support your son/ daughter’s progress at college

Like secondary schools, we welcome the involvement of parents/carers and will work with you to ensure that your son/ daughter achieves their maximum potential. The reason for this is that we know that the students who perform best are those who do three things:

  • Work hard
  • Are supported and taught by high quality and committed teachers
  • Are supported and encouraged by parents

Therefore, we will ensure that you:

  • Play a full role in the partnership between your son/ daughter and the college
  • Have an opportunity to come in at the beginning of term to meet your son’s/daughter’s tutors
  • Are informed straight away about any instances of non- attendance
  • Receive comprehensive, accurate and timely information from the college throughout the duration of their chosen course of study, including college newsletters
  • Receive progress reports on your son/daughter twice yearly
  • Attend a parents/carers evening twice yearly to discuss your son/daughter’s performance

If you are worried or concerned about your son/daughter's transition into college or have any questions at all about the courses, support and opportunities on offer or college success rates and outcomes, please contact our Admissions Team on: admissions@merthyr.ac.uk
