Parents' Evenings and Reports
All pre-prep pupils' progress is reviewed just before each half-term and parents are given informal feedback. A parents’ evening is held early in the year so parents can discuss how pupils have settled in. Later in the year, there is an evening for each class at which parents may meet the members of staff who teach their son, for private consultation. To keep parents fully informed, reports are written by teachers twice a year indicating pupils' attitude, achievement and wellbeing.
A similar pattern of reports and parents' evenings is in place in the prep school. Before Michaelmas and Trinity half-term, ‘Orders’ are sent home with each boy, showing the grades reached and the effort put in for that period. Before Hilary half-term, the boys complete a structured self-reflection of their progress in each subject which is sent home.

Parents’ evenings: For the prep school, parents’ evenings formally begin at 18.00, but there are often colleagues ready to chat to parents earlier (from c.17.45) for those who wish to get a head start. Parking is usually available from 17.15 once the playground is clear of boys leaving after-school enrichment activities. We request that parents arrive in good time to get around all of the teachers to whom they need to speak, usually no later than 18.30, to enable colleagues to get home at a sensible time. |
