I want to share with you a successful Parent Meet event that I organised on the behalf of our English department. I invited a selected number of students and their parents to the event based on KS3 English data and teacher feedback.
It's not parents evening as parents were encouraged to discuss with other parents their own strategies for developing their child's learning. The parents also completed English writing and reading games alongside their children to send the message that learning English is fun!
Takeaway:
Parents were given a question and answer booklet, that I created, in order to teach their children key terms for English. You can download a copy for yourself here! The booklet has a series of subject based questions (alongside their answers) for parents to ask their children on a weekly basis. After a term, I can already see the positive impact it is having on our selected KS3 students' progress in English.
Go for it! Set up a parent meet event at your school and see how it goes!
