This week each secondary school will receive a supply of 'Raising School Standards: A guide for parents and carers'. These guides have been produced to help parents understand the new banding system and the reasons for its introduction. Secondary schools are required to distribute leaflets to every pupil to take home before week beginning 5 December when the banding information will be published. Please note that we have been able to bring forward the publication date from the week beginning 12 December to week beginning 5 December. We will be contacting secondary schools in the New Year for feedback. If you have any queries please e-mail us at SSU@wales.gsi.gov.uk
