Parents Evening

Hiya everyone this week we held the combined Y8, 9 and 10 parents evening. Although having 3 year groups on one night was not ideal the school realises the vital importance of communicating with parents and time slots that we could hold a parents evening post fire were few and far between so we went with the best available date and combination.

The night was very positive, with many parents taking the time to note the value of meeting teachers but although we seemed to be very busy the scores on the doors were not so positive with percentage turn outs as shown below:-

• New year 8 – 40%
• New year 9 – 36%
• New year 10 – 29%.

It is also worth noting that attendance at parents evenings never exceeds 50% turnout.

At Cherry we value home school communications very highly and would just like to remind parents that the Form tutor is the first and best point of call for any information on your child or issues to do with their education.
