Parents are encouraged to help pupils with their homework as a means of keeping them up to date with the work of the class and the child’s progress and to promote partnership between the school and parents. Homework provides an opportunity to consolidate what has been learned in class, makes you aware of what your child is learning and provides you with a useful discussion starter. Homework is also an integral part of school work. Parental interest and co-operation in ensuring homework is undertaken is appreciated. Religious Instruction and Observance Parents who wish to exercise their right to withdraw their child from religious instruction and/or observance should contact the Rector, in writing, and alternative arrangements will be made for their child. Parents are encouraged to let the Pupil Support Leader know if there are topics or issues which their child may find sensitive. We can then plan how to proceed in consultation with you. Extra-Curricular Activities In addition to the formal curriculum, in The Royal High School the informal curriculum is extremely important for enhancing learning and providing opportunities for personal achievement. It has always been the School's policy to promote and encourage a wide programme of extra-curricular activity and a substantial number of sporting and cultural opportunities are offered.
