Overview:

Students at Aston have the option of remaining in school or leaving school on week 2 Thursday afternoons.  If you choose to remain in school, pupils need to commit to attending every session.  Failure to attend regularly hinders progress and development and denies other students a chance to participate.

Absence Reporting via the SIMS Parent App

Parents are urged to encourage their child to attend every session to benefit from the programme.  If your child is absent, parents are requested to mark the absence via the SIMS Parent app (Click here to access guide) at the earliest opportunity or by 10am on the day of the activity.  Email requests will not be accepted unless there is an emergency.  If your SIMS Parent app is not working, please email exams@keaston.bham.sch.uk to rectify any issues at the earliest opportunity.
