Parent Consultations

 Dear Parents/Carers,

I am writing to let you know how we will be organising parent consultations (Parent’s Evenings) this year. These are scheduled for the weeks following half term.

 

As usual, this meeting is a chance for us to discuss how your child has settled into the new academic year, how much they have achieved and the next steps forward. This year, due to current restrictions in relation to health and safety concerns connected to the on-going coronavirus pandemic, these meetings will take the form of telephone conversations and the class teacher will call you. 

 

In order to make the booking of appointments easy and efficient for parents/ carers, we will be using the “Teacher 2 Parents” text service. Time slots will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Each appointment will last approximately 10 minutes. Each phase will have a different week for these consultations (see below). 

 

The booking system will go live on Monday 12^th October and close on Monday 19^th October. A text will be sent to you and you will need to book an appointment for each of your children with their class teacher.  If you have any problems, please make the class teacher aware of this when you collect your child at the end of the day.

 

We hope you can prioritise this event; it is an important opportunity for your child’s teachers to discuss his/her progress with you. 

 

Most importantly, please ensure the school office has your up to date mobile number so that the text service can contact you.
