S4 parents night went well online. I had logged in on time for the booking system and by 7.01 there were no English or Maths slots available for booking. They had gone in less than a minute. Given the importance of these subjects I was disappointed to not hear from the teachers directly on these. It seems that there can’t possibly be enough spaces to accommodate everyone if they go in less than 60 seconds – can we look at this and having more given most students do these subjects? However I emailed student support and the lovely Mrs Sharp supported in getting us an email summary from the teachers, many thanks to Mrs Sharp |
Thank you for your comment and for doing what we recommend in this context, i.e., contacting the relevant member of staff within Student Support.
Each year we try to improve our Parents’ Evening offer. This involves negotiations with staff around the number and length of appointments to maximise the number available. We’ll do that again for next session. In terms of English and Maths appointments our data shows that it can depend upon the class and sometimes if the teacher has more that one class in the year group. It does appear that your son’s Maths teacher has two S4 classes. That does make things very challenging. |

I can’t access the Google form to do feedback for the S4 parents evening. |
Thanks for alerting us, we think it was a settings issue meaning that you needed to access the form via a Google account. We’ve adjusted the setting and it should be working now. All S4 parent/carers will/have be re-Groupcalled. |
