Supporting Your Child

At Marine Academy Plymouth we know that parents and carers are very important in ensuring that students enjoy a successful learning experience.

The Academy, its staff, curriculum and extra activities are here to support you and your child, and by working together we can equip all of our students with the skills, attitude and knowledge to make the most of their futures.

How you can get involved…

It generally goes without saying that taking an active interest in your child’s Academy work, be it coursework, homework or exam revision, makes a huge difference to their performance, but we’d also like you to take a wider interest, such as keeping an eye on their homework diaries to reinforce their success in work completed, merits awarded and sports matches played.

Encouraging your children to understand the importance of being organised is vital. Checking your children’s homework is completed on time, or ensuring they pack their bags the night before are the sorts of actions that can help achieve this.

It is essential that your child does not miss any of their time at Marine Academy Plymouth and taking holidays in term time can have a negative impact on their success. In the event of an essential absence or illness, please ensure that everything is done to ensure your child catches up on missed work. Marine Academy Plymouth staff are always happy to help in these circumstances – we really are here to ensure your child makes the most of their time with us.
