Parents evenings are being held online using the same system we have previously used.
– this will not work until 2 weeks before parents evening.
To login you will need to enter:
• Your title (Miss/Ms/Mrs/Mr) and surname
• Your child’s first name, surname and date of birth.
• The login details you enter must match those we have on record for you. The first name and
surname must match those that your child is known on the school register (e.g. Katherine
Smith/Katie Smith).
• We may have a different title on record for you (e.g. Ms not Miss) so please try alternatives if you cannot login.
If you have any issues booking appointments please contact l.burton@tsatrust.org.uk or 0333 360 2200.
You will get a 4 minute slot with each teacher, with a minimum 1 minute gap between bookings. For years 7, 8 and 9 there may be a limit to the number of teachers you can see to ensure that all parents can make appointments.
You can use smart phone, tablet or computer for video parents evenings.
