Dear Parents and Carers,

We are really looking forward to your first Parents Evening of the academic year. We firmly believe in building a strong partnership between home and school and therefore we will be holding virtual meetings using a website called SchoolCloud. This was trialled with our year R children and has been really successful. The virtual parents evening will NOT be in school or over the phone but accessed via a video link. If you do not have access to a mobile phone, computer or tablet, please call the school office.

The system is very easy to use. You will be able to book a slot with your child’s class teacher via a text which will be sent to you on Tuesday 9^th November at 9am and slots will then be open until 7pm on Sunday 14^th November for you to book. You will receive an email confirmation of your appointment which will include a link for you to click on just before your appointment starts.

Each year group will hold their consultations over one afternoon and evening during the week beginning the 15^th November 2021. The days can be found below:

Teachers will have their cameras on and we would appreciate being able to see you too so that we can discuss face to face how your child has settled into life in their new year group and the progress they are making. There is an option for you to leave a message for the class teacher prior to the meeting if there is something you wish us to particularly address. Please note, that if you miss your appointment, we are unable to offer an alternative unless there were exceptional circumstances e.g. frontline NHS workers, medical emergency. It is best to log on a few minutes early. You will be able to log on to your appointment via the email confirmation

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
