- Parents' Evenings
Parents' evenings at The Matthew Arnold School are vitally important as they give parents and guardians the opportunity to meet with teachers, check the progress of their child's learning, and for staff to set individual targets for each student to ensure they have the best chance of meeting their target grades.
To fully support the transition from primary to secondary school, Year 7 students have a ‘Welcome Evening’ and a parents’ evenings to check their progress and smooth transition. All other year groups have an Information Evening in early in the first half term. Years 7, 8 and 9 have one parents' evening and Years 10 and 11 have two.
We actively encourage all parents and guardians to attend their child’s parents' evenings to check on progress and to meet the staff that will teach your child over the course of the year.
