Dear Parent/Carer,
As we move towards the end of your child’s first full term at St Mary’s, we would like
to offer you the opportunity to discuss how your child has settled into College life.
The meeting will be with your child’s Form Tutor, the member of staff who knows
your child best as they see them every day.

The evening will take place on Thursday 2nd December between 4pm and 6pm and
you are invited to book an online appointment using our School Cloud system. We
have used this software with other year groups and parents have reported back very
positively on how well it has worked.

The appointment will cover attendance, punctuality, positive behaviour totals, extra
curricular involvement and areas for improvement. Progress will not be discussed at
this meeting as Year 7 are due to receive their first progress report in January 2022.
In addition we are planning to hold a full parents evening for Year 7 on Thursday
16th June 2022 where hopefully we will be able to return to face to face meetings
with all of your child’s teachers.

In your meeting with your child’s form tutor you will also be provided with the
opportunity to ask any specific questions in advance which we will aim to answer in
the meeting. With this in mind, if you do have a specific query please can I ask that
you email the query before Tuesday 30th November using the usual year team email
address [email protected].

Please note, video link appointments are for a specified 5 minute period. You will
need to log into School Cloud and the appointment will start automatically at the
designated time. A countdown will begin and automatically end the appointment.
Please visit https://stmaryscatholiccollege.schoolcloud.co.uk/  to log in and book your
appointment. There is a guide attached to this letter to help you to do this. Your child
should accompany you on the video link to the College for their meetings, dressed in
College uniform where possible.

We look forward to meeting you via video link on 2nd December. Please can you
confirm your attendance by using the enclosed information to book your
appointment.

Kind regards

Ms N Lam
Leader of Pupil Induction
