Parent Teacher Meetings
We hold a Parent/Guardian Teacher Meeting each year for every year group. These PTMs are the highlight of our year as we get to meet our families and share with you how the students are doing. It’s really important to attend the meeting.
Meetings are scheduled at appropriate times of the year to suit the year group. Meetings are highlighted in the School Calendar which is available on the school app and also in the student journal. Students are invited to attend the meeting with the parent(s)/guardian(s) to discuss their progress and how they can improve their learning.
We use an app called Parent Teacher Organiser. PTOrganiser provides timed appointments for parent(s)/guardian(s) and teachers so that teachers are aware of which parent(s)/guardian(s) they will be meeting and can prepare appropriately for the meeting. This means that parents are only at the school for the period when they have appointments, do not have to queue and appointments are timed.
It is not possible for all parents to meet all teachers in some cases so PTOrganiser allows parents to enter their own preferences and then print their own rota.
Appointments are allocated in order of preference so that as far as possible all parents will receive an equal number of appointments depending on the number of preferences they entered and the demand for a particular teacher. If a teacher is oversubscribed, appointments will be allocated in order of preference until all appointment slots are used.
Supervised Study
Supervised Study is provided every Monday – Thursday evening in the school. It is a quiet and supervised space for students to complete homework and study. There are both one hour and two-hour options available to facilitate those with part-time jobs or younger students with less homework. Teachers from a variety of different subject backgrounds supervise in the evenings and are available to help students if needed.
