2A, 2B, 2R, 1L, 1M, 1WA Parents/Teacher/Carer Catch Ups

---

Parents and carers of Nursery and Reception children are invited to attend another virtual ‘Keeping in Touch’ appointment.

The purpose of these meetings is to keep in touch with you and your child while they are home learning during this period of lockdown. We will be holding these meetings weekly and you will be able to book the time that is convenient for you within the time slots above. We will send you a reminder letter each week when the booking system is open. Appointments can be made via an easy to use online appointment booking system. This allows you to choose your own appointment times with teachers and you will receive an email confirming your appointments.  The dates are shown on the right.  Should you wish to make any changes after this date please contact the school office.  

Please visit click on the green 'Appointments' button to book your appointment. 

You will login with your own name and email address and your child’s name and date of birth. Please do not put in a title as this is not required. We have also attached a guide for parents – ‘Video Appointments: Parents – How to attend appointments over video call’, in the Downloads section below. It is now possible for another parent/guardian to join the meeting if you are not in the same place – the instructions for this are on page 6 of the guide. 

There is also a video guide below. 

In order to make video calls you will need to have a device with a microphone and speaker and a compatible web browser – it is recommended that you use your smartphone – if you don’t have a front-facing camera, use a laptop or computer with a webcam. A headset (or earphones with a microphone) may be useful to reduce echo. If you do not have the facility to video call, you will be able to turn the video option off and have a conversation with the teacher. In these challenging times, we appreciate your co-operation in finding new ways to communicate while keeping us all safe. 

Please note that the system keeps to an exact timetable so you must be ready to join your appointment at the designated time. Appointments will be 5 minutes long and the appointment will automatically be ended at the end of your time. If you wish to discuss anything in more detail, please arrange this with the class teacher separately.

If you do not have access to the internet, please contact the school office who will be happy to add appointments on your behalf.
