KS4 INFORMATION EVENING
Thank You and Follow Up Information
Thank you so much to those of you who were able to attend our KS4 Information Evening on Tuesday night. It was lovely to see so many of you there, and we hope you found it a helpful introduction to KS4.
We would really appreciate it if you could complete the feedback survey here: KS4 Information Evening | Feedback Form 2026 or via the QR code on the handout (given out on the evening).
As promised, here is a link to all the Power Points and resources from the talks: Little Heath School - Year 9 & Year 11 Parent Information Evening
KS4 DUOLINGO CHALLENGE
Deadline – Sunday 4 October
To celebrate the European Day of Languages, from Monday 28 September to Sunday 4 October, students are invited to learn any language they choose, on the Duolingo app. They will compete to earn the most XP on Duolingo during a week.
To enter, students will need to take a screenshot of their Quizlet account this Sunday to show how many XP they have gained during the week, and email it to Mr Martin at tmartin@littleheath.org.uk.
DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD
Sign Up by Friday 9 October
We are about to launch our recruitment for the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE). It has proved very popular following on from the meeting last week, and we are trying to secure additional dates to be able to offer places to as many students as possible.
At this time, please read through all the information with your child, make sure they have understood the commitment and expectations of the award, and, if they wish to take part, complete the forms linked below.
No payment will be taken at this time and, should we have more interest than available spaces, we will first prioritise Year 10 students, as Year 9 will have another opportunity next year.
Please complete the form linked below with your child’s details and your permission for them to participate: Duke of Edinburgh BRONZE award 2026-27 | Application form 2026.
This must be completed by Friday 9 October 2026, at which point places will be confirmed in time for the first student meeting on Tuesday 20 October 2026.
Furthermore, we would like students to complete a short questionnaire explaining why they would like to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh award and what they hope to gain from the experience. These responses will also be taken into consideration should we be oversubscribed, so please check in with your son/daughter that they have completed it. They will find the link to complete the form on Satchel One.
For more details, read the information letter here: LHS DofE Letter October 2026
If you would like to find out more about the provision at Little Heath School for Year 9 and 10 students, view the presentation from the latest information evening here: DofE Information Evening September 2026
