Parent consultations – review of pupil progress.
Tuesday 27th April – 3.15pm -5.45pm Wednesday 28th April – 4.00pm- 6.30pm (in addition for KS2 1.00pm-3.00pm).
Our procedures for parents evening were discussed at a recent staff meeting. It was felt that all too often timings “over ran” which resulted in frustrating long waits for some parents of sometimes up to an hour. Indeed many of the received parent questionnaires had requested that longer slots be allocated or that we try to reduce the amount of waiting time.
In order to address these issues and make the time more productive for all we would like to trial a new system.
- Appointment slots will need to be made in the same way but we shall be increasing individual time allocations to 15 minutes per pupil.
- In order to accommodate the extra time allocation Miss Hayball will be available to meet with parents during the afternoon of Wednesday 28th April.
- We request that you arrive a few minutes early and at the time of your allocated slot and knock on the door of the classroom room to indicate that it is time for the next meeting to start.
- Your child’s work will be available to look at either before or after your appointment.
The main purpose of the meeting is to review your child’s progress. However, if you have a specific concern that you would like to discuss in more detail or you feel needs more than the allocated 15 minutes please do not hesitate to make another appointment to meet with your child’s class teacher. As always, staff will endeavour to arrange to meet with you at a mutually convenient time.
Our aim is to ensure that all parents are given equal time to discuss their child’s progress and that long waits are a thing of the past. We feel confident that good time management by both staff and parents and working in partnership will best ensure we are all best placed to make the system work effectively. Booking timetables will be displayed at the end of this week. Appointments can also be made by telephoning the school office.
Your co-operation with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
