How did St Benedict Catholic School double turnout at parents consultation evenings?
The school decided to change its system to be based around tutor groups, making them more focussed and more relevant. Instant access to information through ePortal meant that more time could be spent with each parent. And there was access to full data including targets, assessment, attendance, events, exam results and personal information. The improved quality of the meetings had a direct effect on parental engagement. Head teacher Chris Reynolds said: “It has become a quality event providing real dialogue between a member of staff and a parent about the whole child.
