I wrote to all the parents at the start of the Year about discussing goals with their sons before the start of the year. In pastoral groups this week Year 9 have been talking about the benefits of goal setting and effective ways to set goals. Early next week the boys will write down some goals and we will revisit them during the year.

You may wish to discuss some goals with your son over the weekend before he writes them next week. I will ask the boys to set goals in academic, sporting and relationship areas.
