Parents evenings are really important dates in the academic year where parents and carers can gain useful information about the progress their child is making and how we can work as a team to ensure that every student achieves their maximum potential. It is essential that teachers and parents work together to support their child and parents evenings are the perfect opportunity to have these discussions, make plans and set goals for the future.
We are now using an online system called Parents Evening System for making bookings to see teachers at parents evenings. This should make the booking process smoother, allowing parents to receive email confirmation of bookings and helping staff know who, and when, they are due to see.
If you have any problems using the system please email mail@bidefordcollege.uk where one of our IT team will endeavor to assist as soon as possible.

When I login, how do I make appointments?
You will see a grid, showing all your child’s teachers and the available slots. You can then click on each slot you require; the system enforces 5 minutes between slots to give you ‘travel time’ between appointments. You can choose which teachers you wish to see, when groups are shared between teachers you will need to book with the lead teacher.
