Senior School
Learning Conferences
Senior School Learning Conferences will be held next Monday 14 September on the Senior School Campus from 3.00-6.00pm. Some teachers have requested or required an interview and we strongly encourage parents to take this important opportunity to work with teachers to support student learning.
Even when an interview is optional, this is a great chance to discuss progress, ambitions and how to set up your child for success. Booking details were shared with the report email, sent on 9 September.
Contact Kate Baldry or your child’s teacher for further information.
