Reporting to Parents
Children and young people need high-quality feedback about their progress and a clear understanding of the support that is in place to help them to be successful. At Marr College we firmly believe that parents and carers should be given information and regular updates to help you have a clear understanding of how your child is progressin in their learning. We also want to equip you with the necessary information to be able to help work with us to support your child at home in their learning.
