Dear Parents/Carers, I am writing to let you know that Year 10 Parents' Evening is on Tuesday 14th January 2014 from 4.30pm to 6.30pm. This is a very good opportunity for you and your son/daughter to discuss the progress he/she has made in their individual subjects. I believe that Year 10 is such an important year and this meeting will give you the opportunity to discuss the start that your child has made to GCSE courses. It will also be a chance for you to talk to teachers about how you can offer support to help them to achieve their potential. An appointment sheet is attached to this letter. Please give this to your son/daughter to arrange appointments before Parents' Evening. Teachers will insert times on the sheet and your son/daughter will return the sheet to you so that you can refer to it on the night. All teachers will try to ensure that your appointments are not spread over too long a period. In order to give every parent the same access to teachers, each meeting must be limited to five minutes. If a longer period is required, this could be arranged for a future date with the teacher concerned. Where a subject has indicated that an appointment time is not needed, this means that you may go to see the teacher of this subject at any time during Parents’ Evening. May I remind you that it is very important to sign in and out of the building using the attendance sheets that will be provided for you in the main entrance. This is for security reasons and, for the same reason, could you please also take note of the security footer below. I am also obliged to remind you that if your son/daughter is attending Parents' Evening with you then they must wear full school uniform which should be worn correctly. I will be available on the evening for any urgent queries and Form Tutors will be in allotted places according to their subject areas but since we will have appointments within our own departments, you may prefer to make an appointment to see either your son/daughter’s Form Tutor or myself following Parents' Evening if there is something you would like to discuss in more detail. Finally, it is very important that you return the slip attached to this letter as soon as possible, but no later than Friday 7th December so that we know that you are aware of the Parents’ Evening. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 14th January 2014. Yours sincerely,
N. Ashton (Mr) Head of Year 10
