Y11 Parents Evening – Thursday 5th December – 4pm – 7pm – Further Information

Dear Parents / Carers of Year 11, 

We are excited to welcome you to the academy on Thursday 5th December for Year 11 Parents Evening. This is a great opportunity to come and speak directly with your child’s teachers to find out what is going well and what can be improved. 

Further detail regarding the evening is below: 

Appointments  

  • We would encourage you to try and leave one slot between each appointment to ensure you can get to your next appointment on time.  
  • Appointments will be kept to 5 minutes per student  
  • If you are unable to make an appointment, you will be able to add yourself to a waiting list which will enable the teacher to contact you following the event.  
  • Please ensure your child attends the evening with you.  

Timings  

  • It is important we keep to timings to enable everyone to have the opportunity to speak with their child’s teacher, so please endeavour to get to your appointment on time and stick to the allocated 5 minutes.  
  • The format for the appointments will follow a ‘what’s going well / even better if’ structure, finishing with an actionable next step for the student to aid further improvement.  
  • Please be respectful of timings and keep to the 5-minute appointment slot.  
  • Teachers do have scheduled comfort breaks during the evening, so please do not be alarmed if you see a teacher leave a venue (they will be back).  
  • The evening will conclude at 19:00, the scheduled finish time for teachers.  

  

Arriving to the Academy site on the evening  

  • You will need to sign in and pick up a parent information pack (see map below). Please aim to arrive at least 10 minutes before your first appointment to allow time to sign in and make your way to your first appointment.

Venues  

  • Appointments will take place in three venues (to minimise noise):  
  • Old Gym – English, Maths and Science  
  • Foyer – History, Geography, French, Spanish, Computing/iMedia, Health & Social Care, Sociology, Drama 
  • Main Hall – DT, Music, Photography, Art, Sport  
  • The three venues are close to each other, which should make for efficient travel time between appointments.
