Year 11 Parent/Tutor Evening

Dear Parent/Carer,

I am writing to inform you that our Year 11 Parent-Tutor Evening will take place online on Thursday 1st April 2021 between 4.00pm and 7.00pm.

This event will allow you to meet your child’s tutor and discuss the academic progress being made by your child and tackle any areas of concern.  Since we are unable to host this evening in school at the moment, we have introduced an easy to use online parents’ evening system. This allows you to choose your own appointment time with the tutor and host the video conference appointment on the evening, in a way that is similar to holding a FaceTime or Zoom conversation.

Appointments can be made from 9am on Monday 29th March and will close on 31st March at 3:30pm. For most parents, you will be able to book a single, 7-minute appointment with your child’s tutor. In some instances, parents will also be able to book an appointment with Mrs Upston, the SENCO, or a College Leader if required.

Please visit https://hanspriceacademy.schoolcloud.co.uk/ to book your appointment.

There is a video parent guide to the School Cloud system, available here.

You will need to log in with the following information:

  • Your name
  • Your contact email
  • Your child’s name
  • Your child’s date of birth

All of these details will need to match the details we have for you and your child in our SIMS system, so if your login fails in the first instance, please check your SIMS Parent App contact details section. Initial login difficulties are usually limited to those associated with legal names and preferred names (for example, Eleanor versus Ellie). If you do not have the SIMS parent app, please email [email protected] for instructions and an activation code.

This appointment will be largely a discussion around your child’s most recent progress report, which will be available on the SIMS parent app from Wednesday 31st March. It would be useful to read this in advance of your appointment time so you can be prepared with any questions. This report will include data on your child’s approximate grade currently from the evidence base we have from recent assessment opportunities.

If you have any queries about the arrangements for this parent-tutor evening, please do not hesitate to contact us at the academy.

Yours sincerely,

Miss S Angell

Year 11 Raising Standards Leader
