From the Head of Primary

I am sure that you will have noted from the school calendar that next Friday (September 18, 2020) is conference day, there will be no school for children on this day. This year we will also be offering time on two other afternoons to give more flexibility to both our parents and teachers in these times of learning from home.

Each conference is scheduled for 20 minutes on the following days:
Thursday    September 17    14:00 - 16:00
Friday        September 18    07:50 - 16:00
Monday    September 21    14:00 - 16:00     

Parent Teacher Meetings for Nursery and JKG
(No school for children on this day)
Parents of children in Nursery and JKG will have parent teacher meetings.
"These are designed to give the parents information about the student’s progress development and needs. Teachers should take this opportunity to gather background information, to answer the parents’ questions, to address their concerns, and to help define their role in the learning process. The parents should take the opportunity to provide the teacher with the cultural context of the student’s learning.” [PYP Making It Happen]


3 Way Conferences for SKG – Grade 5
(No school for children on this day)

Parents of children in SKG – Grade 5 will have 3 Way Conferences.

3 way conferences involve the student, parent and teacher and sometimes a member from the Student Support Team if this is appropriate. The student, parents and teacher collaborate to establish and identify the student’s strengths and areas for improvement. This may lead to setting of new goals, with all determining how they can support the achievement of these goals.


Booking your conference time:
Conferences are scheduled for 20 minutes on the following days:
Thursday    September 17    14:00 - 16:00
Friday        September 18    07:50 - 16:00
Monday    September 21    14:00 - 16:00     

Instructions for booking an interview time will be sent on Friday afternoon from your child’s homeroom teacher. Bookings will close at 14:00 on Wednesday. A link for your meeting will be sent to you prior to your meeting.


Will you meet other single subject teachers at these conferences?

The answer to this question is no, on this day single subject teachers will not be meeting with parents. A conference with Single Subject teachers is planned for later in this semester. However, as always the staff are available to talk through any queries you may have regarding the progress and development of your children and I would ask, that should you wish to discuss any issues you may have, that you contact the secretaries to make an appointment or directly with the single subject teacher.  


In Summary:
September 11    Booking schedule will be open from Friday 14:00.
                             Your homeroom teacher will send you the sign up sheet 
​September 16    Booking schedule will be locked at 14:00
September 17    Confirmation and a link for the meeting will be emailed to you
September 17    Conferences 14:00 - 16:00
September 18    Conference Day - no school for children
September 21    Conferences 14:00 - 16:00


Should you have a concern or query regarding your child in his/her homeroom, I would ask that you make an appointment to meet your homeroom teacher at another time, rather than raise these in front of the children at their conference. Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.
