Parents’ Evening

Spring Term Parents’ Evenings

Pupils at Sherington were at the centre of planning their own parents’ evening. Children chose what work to showcase and spoke articulately about the steps and skills necessary for progress and achievement. Parents have commented on how great it was to hear about their child’s learning directly from them, as well as getting valuable feedback from the teacher. Here’s a small but representative selection of quotes from parents:

• Liked to see my son’s work and see the actual progress.
• Great idea, loved the presentation part. Good opening. Keep up the good work.
• Good to have an inclusive discussion with the child at the centre.
• It’s great to have the children talk about their own work. It’s also great to hear the usual teacher feedback. A good balance.
• I think my daughter did fantastic and what a good idea.
• My daughter presented well and it gave her a confidence boost. I am happy to see this type of evening again.

• I like this as an alternative, it’s great to see the children enthusiastic about their own work. I think current programme of one style presentation and one style teacher/parent meeting is good. Thanks.
