Consultation on Parents’ Evenings/Academic Review

The consultation has now ended and produced the following results:

• 49% of parents prefer virtual Parents’ Evenings/Academic Review events
• 14% of parents prefer face-to-face events
• 37% of parents prefer a combination of virtual and face-to-face events.

There were 219 responses.

Staff views were very similar (54%, 4%, 42% with 105 responses).

It is clear that there is strong support for the use of technology to deliver some of our events although many parents and staff see value in some events being held face-to-face.  We are currently considering a number of options including a hybrid model structure where, for example, Year 7, Year 11 and Year 13 evenings are face-to-face and Years 8, 9, 10 and 12 are held remotely.  I will confirm details at the start of the academic year when, hopefully, the situation with any COVID-related restrictions will be clearer.  My thanks to all those parents who contributed to the consultation.
