How you can support your child’s progress
- When visiting tourist destinations or travelling within the UK or abroad, encourage your child to observe how products and services are provided in the topic areas as outlined above.
- Encourage your child to meet any assessment deadlines, for which there will be six in Y10 and six in Y11, so this will require effective organisation and time management on their part.
