Parent Consultations

• The format of parent consultations will change slightly this year.  Your face to face meeting with the class teacher will still go ahead as normal however we will share with you your child's work rather than spending most of the appointment reading through the report. 
• This work might be their school books, photos, artwork or even short videos.  You will then be able to discuss how your child is doing in school, the progress they are making and how best to support them to make continued progress. 
• Reports will be sent out later in the term as normal.  Our intention is for you to view your child's work and have a more personal conversation with your child's teacher rather than read through the report. 
• If you have any questions at all then please speak to Mr James or Mrs Hurley.
