Most other schools I know of in the area (admittedly a small sample) are having parent-teacher meetings this term for reception pupils. I just asked DDs teacher and she said, no, they won't as they met with us once already. The meeting she's referring to is the one they have right at the beginning where they ask a few things about the child - preferences etc and ours was with the classroom assistant who is also DDs key worker. So there will be no formal parent-teacher evening until the spring term.
We have had very little info about how they approach the reception year - for example no homework or books have come home so far and I don't know whether/when to expect them. The teacher said 'you can book a meeting with us any time'. Am I just being a pushy parent or is it reasonable to request a meeting just to ask how DD is getting on (she seems happy but I get very little out of her) and what their approach is? I think I am a bit twitchy about the school as it has a mixed reputation (we ended up choosing it as it was the only non-faith based school that we could realistically get to), so wonder if I am over-reacting...
