Progress Evenings and Reports

As a school, we aim to keep you informed of your child’s progress. We do this through a combination of Progress Evenings and Progress Reports. 

Year 7 Settling-in and Meet the Tutor Evening

As a school, we understand that our families want to feel reassured that their child is settling in well to secondary school. To support this, we host a Meet the Team Parents’ Evening in the autumn term of Year 7.    

This evening provides an opportunity to come into school for a short meeting with your child’s tutor. In addition, there is the opportunity to see the school and meet their teachers to see what they have been learning in each subject area. The Year 7 Team, Progress lead and members of the Senior Leadership Team are also on hand to answer any questions you may have. This evening has a settling in focus rather than a progress focus at this early stage in your child’s secondary school journey.

Our Meet the Team Evening is taking place on Thursday 2 October 2025.

Progress Evenings

Progress evenings provide an opportunity for parents and carers to come into school, meet with staff and discuss their child’s strengths and areas for development. The dates for the coming year can be found below:

Parents' Booking System

Appointments to meet with staff on Parents’ Evening are booked through Arbor. An email is sent from the school office approximately 2 weeks before the evening. For information on how to access the booking system, please click here.  

If you require any help logging in to the system or making an appointment, please contact the school on 01430 430448.

Progress Reports

Whilst teachers assess knowledge retention and learning each lesson, this is evaluated and reported on more formally twice a year. These biannual formal reporting points are when teachers consider all of the assessment information they have (from classwork and interim assessments) and communicate a child’s current performance.   

These formal progress reports are published to parents twice a year via Arbor.
