We believe in the importance of the student/staff/parent triangle and will always look to include and inform parents in supporting and challenging our students to aim high. Parents’ evenings are in integral part of this and provide the opportunity for teachers and parents to discuss student progress, reasons for celebration and targets for improvement.

​

Year 7

​

In Year 7 there are two consultation opportunities, one with the tutor after the first term to discuss how students have settled and celebrate successes and achievements during transition, as well as identifying any further support that may be required. There is another chance for Parents to attend a parents evening, later in the year with subject teachers focusing on subject specific progress. 

​

In addition, in July, there is a third opportunity for the school to invite specific parents to discuss targeted provision for students where there are concerns over progress.

 

Years 8 -11

​

​In Years 8-11 we provide a subject evening each academic year, in which there is a chance to meet with subject teachers and discuss students’ progress in the particular area, including achievements and excellence, as well as identifying any barriers to support further academic progress.

 

Sixth Form

​

In Years 12 and 13 there are three opportunities to meet teachers across the two years of Sixth Form. The first is a tutor evening to identify how students have adapted to life in the sixth from, with the other two evenings subject focused with specialist teachers that can provide in depth feedback about each student’s progress on their key stage 5 courses.

 

Information about parents evening appointments will be published electronically at the appropriate time. Appointments are booked through our parents evening website hosted by School Cloud.
