We all want our children to do well, enjoy themselves and create the foundations for a successful adult life while they’re at secondary school. The choices and decisions made by teenagers regarding the subjects they study at secondary school are of such importance, it can sometimes be overwhelming, daunting and frustrating as a parent to provide support and help your child to make the best choices.

This book will guide parents through secondary school, from year 7 to 11, including information on secondary school league tables, secondary school curriculum, Ofsted reports, SATs, GCSEs, homework, secondary school teachers and parents’ evenings.
