End of Year Reports and Parents Afternoon on Wednesday 9th July

Dear Parents/ Carers,

I'm pleased to let you know that End of Year Reports will be sent out with children at the end of the day on Monday 7th July.

As well as the report, you will receive your child's attendance record for two and a half terms up to Friday 23rd May 2025 and a feedback form for you to return to confirm you have received your child's report and for you to give feedback to school. There will also be a link to the annual parent survey that we undertake each year.

On Wednesday 9th July, we are holding a Parents Afternoon in school from 3.15 to 5.45pm. There is no expectation that all parents will attend this Parents Afternoon - many of you will be happy to read about how your child is progressing in their End of Year Report.

However, if you do wish to book a meeting with your child's class teacher, there will be 5 minute appointments available from 3.15pm to 5.35pm on Wednesday 9th July; however, if your child is in 5K, these appointments will be on Tuesday 8th July because Mrs Khan will be away on the school residential on the following day.

This is the last parents' evening for this academic year and is an opportunity for you to talk about your child's progress and their report if you would like to.

As before, parents will be asked to use an online booking system to book a 5 minute appointment with their children's class teacher on Parents' Afternoon.

To fit as many parents in as possible, we will have to be quite strict about the timings of the appointments so please don't be late and please don't be offended if the teacher has to end the appointment after 5 minutes to meet the next parent.

Guidelines for Parents' Evenings:

It's useful for children and parents to attend but please try to keep to a mimumum the number of other family members attending
Parents should arrive at school no earlier than 10 minutes before their first appointment
Entrance to the school site will be via Arthur Street or Dixon Road and entrance to the building will be via the outside door to the main hall under the canopy
Parents will be expected to sign in and then sign out as they leave

Booking appointments with your child's class teacher:

We are going to use the same online system we have used before through the school website for booking appointments with class teachers
In order to book an appointment we will send an email on Wednesday 2nd July at 4.00pm to the email address of the parent who is listed as the First Contact on our school information system
The email will have a link to click on and you will then be able to choose which day and at which time you would like to book the appointment - please make a note of the date and time that you choose
You will receive an email for each of your children so you will need to open each one and book for each child
We would advise that you allow 10 minutes between the end of one meeting and the start of the next, e.g. if you book an appointment to start at 3.15pm which ends at 3.20pm, you should book the next appointment for 3.30pm to give you time to get to the next classroom
If you don't receive an email, this is because either we don't have an email address for you, the email you have given us is wrong or you are not listed as the first parental contact. If you don't receive an email, then please contact the office and a member of staff will support you in booking an appointment
If you don't have an email address at all and don't wish to use one, then you can contact the office and they can assign you a date and time for your appointment

We're looking forward to welcoming parents into school on the 9th July. If anything changes, we will let you know so please look out for any messages we send via text.

We look forward to seeing you all,

Mr Beale
