Welcome to the St Edward’s GCSE Parent Portal, where we are committed to providing exceptional support to our Year 10 and Year 11 students during their Key Stage 4 studies. Our comprehensive support programme is designed to ensure the academic success of our students.

We recognise the significance of Year 11 for both students and their families. At St. Edward’s, we are dedicated to making this year a source of pride for each and every student. We eagerly anticipate collaborating with our students and their families to turn this vision into a reality.

Advice for parents on supporting with revision and study

The amount of information available for parents and carers can be overwhelming. We have identified three key websites which we think offer excellent advice:
