Parents’ Evenings

All of our Parents Evenings are now once again held as “face-to-face” sessions, where parents and students will be able to meet their teachers in person to discuss progress and steps to move forward.

We recognise how important it is for parents and careers to have a genuine connection to the school, and we have greatly enjoyed seeing so many of you come to our Navigating Success Evenings in the Autumn term.

In Year 7 it is also very important for parents and carers to also meet the form tutors of their child, so we have a ‘Meet the tutor’ evening in the Autumn term ahead of a full parents’ evening in the Summer term.

Students choose their Key Stage 4 options during Year 9 ready for the start of Year 10. To support you with these important decisions, we therefore hold a Year 9 Parents’ Evening during the Autumn Term followed by an Options Fair during the Spring term to help guide you through the Options process.

Our booking system for appointments is run through our SchoolCloud software, which is very simple and easy to use; we kindly request that you use the following links to learn about how to book your appointments: Parents evening booking Guide If you are having any technical issues / problems with booking appointments, please Contact Us to discuss the issues.
