Parent/Carer Evenings and Reports

Parent/Carer Evenings

Each year group will have one Parent and Carer evening throughout the year, from 3:30-6pm at JCA, apart from Y11 who will have two.

Find out about when our Parent/Carer Evenings are happening

For the 2024/25 academic year, we will be transitioning from the SchoolCloud platform to MCAS for booking appointments. Parents and Carers will receive information on this in due course to support you booking appointments for the Parent and Carer evening that is relevant to your child.

The evenings themselves will take place in school, face-to-face.

It is vital that Parents and Carers make every effort to attend the evening -> the Educational Endowment Fund state that quality parental engagement with schools can lead to students making 4 months additional academic progress compared to average (EEF website, 2023). It is our job to support you in feeling able to support your child, and these evenings provide us with a great opportunity to make that happen.

Reports

In addition to Parent and Carer evenings, each year group will receive two academic progress reports throughout the year. For each subject, we will provide information about how your child is performing in relation to their target grades. We will also provide contextual data, such as attendance and behaviour scores.

Report dates are scheduled to come after key testing points in the year to allow us to provide you with accurate, up to date information on the progress your child is making.

We will start the year by emailing these reports to the primary contact email address that we have on our records. If you need to update your information please email [email protected]. Once we have launched the MCAS app you will then be able to access reports using the app.

Academic progress reports are sent out as follows.
