  4. Parents’ Evening Reflections on research?

  5. ‘Tell me so that I can hear you’ • You might consider covering all bases and mentioning… • - Overall impression of the child beyond academics • - Data driven feedback • - Specific targets… can be understand by a non-subject specialist! • - Consider the child’s emotional wellbeing as well as academic • - Remember that the child is there too or will hear about what you have said. Feedback should be constructive rather than a character assassination! • - Parents’ Evening is not the time to reveal for the first time that the child has been an absolute nightmare.

  6. Parents’ Evening Scenario 1:You are meeting with the parents of a child who regularly misbehaves in your lesson, does not complete homework and has been rude and disorderly. You have sent emails home before. Scenario 2:You are meeting with the parents of a child who is not meeting their target grade - despite working hard in lessons. The parents become defensive and suggest that the cause is the poor behaviour of others and lack of challenge in the lessons. Scenario 3:This child has perfect behaviour for learning, completes all homework and is exceeding their target grade.

We have the honour of combatting this sad statistic. • Pupils and their families are looking for a positive, guiding relationship with the school. How can you make yourself part of that culture? • Challenge parents perceptions/ expectations of their children. What is the narrative at home?
