Virtual Parents & Carers Evenings

For the academic year 2021/2022, some of our parents'/carers' consultation evenings will held online via the SchoolCloud online platform. This will allow our staff to meet with Parents & Carers online whilst maintaining social distancing. 

The event will operate as similarly to the face-to-face parent/carer consultation evenings as possible.  

The event will commence at 16:00 and end at 18:30. The final appointment will take place at 17:50.

Appointment slots will last 5 minutes.

Please note that the software will end the virtual meeting after 5 minutes. Staff will be unable to extend appointment times. 

Parents/Carers will be able to sign up to appointment slots via the SchoolCloud platform. 

All subject teachers, form tutors, and Achievement Co-ordinators will be available to attend appointments.
