P2-7 Parent Teacher Meetings – Spring

The Parent Teacher meetings will be held on:

Thursday 20th April 5-7pm

Tuesday 25th April 3.30-5.30pm

Nearer the time, we will ask you to let us know which time slots suit you best.

In Term 1 we invited you to bring your child to the meeting with you. Only about half of parents did this and we have listened to feedback around this. We feel it is important that children are part of learning conversations with their parents and teacher but we also recognise that there is a place for parents to speak to the teacher without their child there. We have also taken on board suggestions by parents that they would like more chance to look at their child’s jotters at Parents Evening. We are changing the format for these meetings in  in response to this.

You will still receive a 10 minute appointment but we will invite you to come 10 or 15 minutes before the appointment and bring your child with you. There will then be chance for your child to show you their jotters and the learning evidence included. When you go into the meeting, your child can come in for the first part of the meeting. They will then step out of the meeting and go to the hall where some activities will be set up while you conclude the meeting with the teacher, getting the full oral report.

It continues to be the case that the meeting is for an update on your child’s progress and next steps. It is not the occasion to raise new concerns. We will contact you ahead of the meeting if we have any concerns and ask that you do the same.
