Yr 7 Home consultation SHSB
Does anyone with a son at SHSB know what a yr 7 home consultation is please? It's on the school calender for March but I'm intrigued as to what it may be? Thanks x
Re: Yr 7 Home consultation SHSB
DS2 is in year 8 (so year 7 last year) and DS1 was at the school until a couple of years ago, and I have no idea! I can't imagine that it means that someone comes out to see you at home - they would be hard pushed to get round to all the OOC families in one day, let alone all 180 boys and anyway, why would they? I am also intrigued...missymoo1972 wrote:Does anyone with a son at SHSB know what a yr 7 home consultation is please? It's on the school calender for March but I'm intrigued as to what it may be?

Maybe it is a new name for Parents Evening ?
Used to be called an "at home" when I was at school.

I think you might be onto something there Herman - I seem to remember the same (I think). A consultation with "home" just in case the parents aren't the child's carers - inclusivity.

It's where the teachers may ring you at home or email you if they have particular concerns. It's usually a set time on a set day so that you know to be in then or if you don't receive a call or email at that time then everything is ok.

I assume that is something new this year, then? Definitely didn't have that arrangement for either of ours. Do parents set the time, or the school?pinkrabbit38 wrote:It's where the teachers may ring you at home or email you if they have particular concerns.

It happened last year too Toadmum. The school sent out a letter saying that you may get a call between 4pm and 5pm on a certain date (same date and time for everyone). I remember feeling nervous throughout the whole hour but thankfully we didn't get a call! We did however get an email praising his improvement in languages and pointers for helping him further.ToadMum wrote:I assume that is something new this year, then?

Re: Yr 7 Home consultation SHSB
I think it is mildly ridiculous, I'm afraid. If there is a problem, the teachers should not be waiting for a set time/day to be informing parents; they should be all over it, discussing it with the parents as it comes up - hanging around waiting till March just delays dealing with the problem. In the same way that there should be no surprises at Parents Evenings - any issues should have been identified already so that parents and teachers can form their Parents Evening discussion around any improvements/what more needs to be done etc.
