Parents' Evenings
Parents’ Evening is a valuable opportunity for students and families to work in partnership with the school to support learning and wellbeing. It provides a dedicated time to discuss progress, celebrate strengths, and identify areas for development, ensuring students understand what they are doing well and what steps they can take to improve. For families, it offers helpful insight beyond grades, including attitudes to learning, engagement in lessons, and how best to support study at home. By sharing information and agreeing clear targets, Parents’ Evening helps ensure everyone is aligned and students are well supported to make confident, sustained progress.
Booking Appointments
SchoolCloud is the platform we use to manage Parents’ Evening appointments efficiently and fairly. It allows families to book individual 5-minute meetings with each of their child’s subject teachers in advance, giving everyone a clear schedule and ensuring that time is shared evenly across all families. By using an online booking system, we can reduce queues on the evening, improve punctuality, and help staff and families make the most of the time available.
To use SchoolCloud effectively, families should log on early to secure preferred times and aim to book appointments as close together as possible to minimise waiting between meetings. It can also be helpful to prioritise key subjects first and to note down any questions in advance, so the short appointments remain focused and productive. Booking in a well-planned sequence helps the evening run smoothly and ensures families can have meaningful conversations with teachers within the allocated time.
