General Reminders and information

Equipment reminder for science lessons

Please could you ensure your child attends their science lessons with the following equipment:

  • Scientific Calculator
  • Ruler
  • Pen
  • Pencil

Option choices for current years 8, 9, 10

SIMS Options is open for students to select their options and for parents/carers to approve their choices.

We would like to remind all families of some important stages to confirm option choices:

  • Students have until Friday 16th February to select and save their option choices via SIMS Student
  • If students have already selected their options they are able to make any changes online up to this date
  • We ask all students to either reconfirm or reselect their option choices each year.  Therefore all students in years 8-10 will need to access SIMS Options.
  • As parent/carer, you will need to approve your child’s option choices by ticking the parent/carer approval box; you can access your child’s option choices via SIMS Parent.  We will only be accepting options from students who have the parent/carer box ticked.

The deadline for selecting options is Friday 16th February, after which time SIMS Options will be closed and no further changes online will be possible.

For support with SIMS Options:

  • Students with SIMS Student or SIMS Options – please come to the STAR office at break or lunch time
  • Parents/carers for support with SIMS Parent – please email simsparent@aylshamhigh.norfolk.sch.uk
  • Support with options – parents/carers please email astonestreet@aylshamhigh.norfolk.sch.uk or students can come to the STAR office at break or lunch time

What a game against Framingham Earl. After a slow start and finding ourselves behind at half-time. We regrouped and with some excellent game management from Hudson, we managed to convert territory into points. Barker Carver Deary Rimmer https://t.co/yyjF36nOCU
