Hi, I just wanted to ask about peoples experiences for parents evenings in secondary atm. We have been offered approx half amount of appointments for 9 subjects. Missing some core subjects inc maths and with staff talking about subjects they do not teach- essentially relaying information from other teachers. I know covid etc has had an impact but the school think that this is “enough” I think it’s not great. I would have liked to speak to o core subject staff and also option staff. So not everyone but the subjects my child will choose from. So are you having similar issues? Please let me know.

Ours were 5 mins! But still cut off on the one we wanted to talk to and felt too long on tbe one we were happy with quickly!

Virtual evening gere. Yr 8 but tbey choose options now... many people could only get a few teachers. I got 3 and not the options she wants to take 🙄.

Within 15mins of the booking system apparently most were booked. They did offer a short email but they didnt want ti encourage a ton of calls home...

We had a virtual parents evening and managed to talk to all the core subject teachers. Only had a 4 minute slot with each though so you had to speak fast Grin
