Parents’ Evenings form a really important part of the communication between the College and parents/carers. We recently asked for feedback on the virtual format of parents’ evenings that were implemented in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. After reflecting on that feedback we have decided that all year groups will have one in-person and one virtual parents’ evening. The exceptions to this are Year 11 who have an additional in-person evening, and Year 13 who will remain fully virtual.
The in-person parents’ evenings will give us the opportunity for families to access additional advice, guidance and support, including careers advice, support from the Individual Needs team and direct access to the College’s Executive team. The onsite parents’ evenings have been carefully scheduled to be as effective as possible, for example there will be an in-person Year 8 parents’ evening just before students make their GCSE pathway choices.
We will continue to use SchoolCloud to facilitate the booking of appointments irrespective of whether the evening is in-person or virtual.
In-person evenings will take place at the College and virtual evenings will take place via video call using the SchoolCloud platform.
To facilitate the smooth running of the parent/carer evenings’, the College day will finish at 3.00pm for all year groups on the dates below.
