Response to feedback submitted from HT Update week ending 22/09/23.
| My Question | Comment | Suggestion related to the school this week is: | HT’s Response |
|
I know the parent appt portal opens at 9am Monday morning for s2s – I wondered if there were potential for this to be on a Sunday evening going forward, as a suggestion. Most parents are working on a Monday at 9am, I work in a school and it’s extremely difficult to be available at 9am as children arrive. Basically if you don’t book appts first thing there are none left later in the day. There is perhaps a reason it needs to be 9am but I just thought I’d mention. ???? |
We open it at 9.00am as we are concerned about our ability to respond over a weekend if there are issues with the system, e.g., if IT crashes. Unfortunately, it’s too late for this one but we’ll discuss at our senior meeting around the logistics of whether we could try this suggestion. I appreciate our mitigations of things like 4 minute consultations and limiting the maximum number of appointments only go so far. If any parent has concerns re their child they should contact the relevant Student Support House Team. That includes if they are worried about progress in learning. |
| Can you advise when Nat 5 prelims take place, thanks. | This session we will operate an Assessment Calendar. This will involve three Assessment Windows in November, January and March. These are when our teams will set significant assessments for students. These assessments will take place in class time under the supervision of the class teacher. We’ll publish details via the HT Update prior to the October holiday. |
