YEAR 11 VIRTUAL PARENT’S EVENING – THURSDAY 9TH DECEMBER– 4PM TO 7PM 

Dear Parents/Carers  

Year 11 Parents Evening will take place ‘virtually’ using the School Cloud Parents Evening Booking System, on Thursday 9th December 2021.  Please note that this date has been moved back from Thursday 25th November 2021. 

Your child will receive their PPE results certificate during the week beginning the 22nd November in tutor time. Students will access a number of tutor time activities designed to support them in reflecting upon their PPE preparation and experience and identify SMART goals that will enable them to make good progress between now and the next round of PPEs at the beginning of Term 4.  

Prior to parents evening your child will receive their progress check which will contain predicted grades for all subjects. This is a holistic grade that takes into account historical performance, attitude to learning in lessons and home learning to provide to most accurate picture of your child’s GCSE performance should they continue to progress in the same way until GCSE exams in term 5 and 6.  

Parents evening will provide a formal opportunity to discuss with your child’s subject teachers’ current performance and targets for further improvement. It is, therefore, an important part of our Academy calendar and we very much looking forward to welcoming you online on that evening.  Appointments start at 4pm and finish at 7pm.  

The booking system for this evening is electronic. Parents/Carers will now be able to book virtual appointments with teachers directly via an online booking system.  To do this, visit https://hanhamwoods.parentseveningsystem.co.uk (there is also a link to this website on our Academy website) where you will be asked for your details to access appointments. If you are unsure of your son/daughter’s tutor group, then please ask them for this information.   To assist with booking video calls, we have produced the following Parents Evening Video Appointments Guide 

Appointment bookings open on Thursday 2nd December 2021 and will close at 3.00pm on Wednesday 8th December 2021.  Appointments are scheduled on a first come first served basis, therefore, we would encourage you to do this as soon as is possible to avoid disappointment. Once you have made appointments, you will receive an email confirming the appointments you have made. Should you wish to make any changes after this date or you do not have access to the internet, please contact Main Reception who will be happy to add/amend appointments on your behalf.  

Yours Sincerely, 

Mrs R Tushingham | Assistant Principal – Raising Attainment
