13 HOW WE COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PARENTS Weekly Communications Your parents will receive weekly updates from the school. These will let them know what’s going on in school including any special events coming up. It also contains useful links and resources. Parent Teacher Conferences Your parents will have the opportunity to meet with your tutor at the start of the academic year, and then to meet with your subject teachers twice a year. The timing of the PTCs across the year will differ per year group depending on key events relating to you, eg Year 11 exams or Year 8 options. The dates will be shared at the start of the year. If your parents have any questions or concerns they are always welcome to email your teachers at any time. Reports Your parents will receive three updates on your progress during the year. These are issued at the end of each term (Year 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12) to inform you and your parents of your specific progress and contain data and other measurable factors such as ‘attitude for learning’ as well as personalised ‘what went well’ and ‘even better if’ targets. The timings for Year 11 and 13 alter slightly to fit around mock exams, but parents will also receive three updates on progress each year. Parent Portal Your Progress Reports will be published on the Parent Portal and on the Student Portal. Your parents will also be able to see your Rewards and Detentions there.
