Why Attend?

Parents' Evening provides an opportunity to:

• Receive feedback from subject teachers, personal tutors and support staff where applicable.
• Ask questions about attendance, achievement and next steps.
• Support your young person in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential.

We strongly encourage students to attend alongside their parents or carers so they can hear feedback first-hand and contribute to discussions about their progress.
