Year 11 Parents’ Evening
Tuesday 30th November 2021
Dear Parent/Carer,
RE: Year 11 Parents’ Evening-Thursday 16th December and Friday 17th December 2021 – Online Video Appointment System (School Cloud)
Year 11 Parents’ Evening will take place on Thursday 16th December and Friday 17th December. This will be a virtual parents’ evening, which will allow us to provide face-to-face video meetings with teachers through the online platform SchoolCloud. Please note that teachers have the flexibility to be available either Thursday 16th or Friday 17th December, it is not expected for teachers to be fully available for both days.
Year 11 Parents’ Evening is an important opportunity for you to discuss your child’s progress in each of their subjects with their teacher. As this is such an important meeting, your attendance with your child is crucial and we really welcome your support.
As your child has recently completed their Mock Exams, it will be an excellent opportunity for you to discuss next steps with your child’s teachers based on their set of results. The school’s SENCO (Miss A Bell) will be available for appointments. If you wish to speak to them, please note that meeting slots are likely to be limited. It is important that you view your child’s mock examination data ahead of the night, this will be available on the SIMs parent app.
SchoolCloud allows you to choose video appointment times with teachers and you will receive an email confirming each of your appointments. Your email confirmation will contain a link that you will use at your designated time to virtually meet with your child’s teachers.
Please be aware of the following key points made by the company SchoolCloud;
- Please access School Cloud via the quick links on our school website at all times – https://www.stepneyallsaints.schoolcloud.co.uk
- A mobile phone, tablet, laptop or desktop can be used, but please check if your device has access to a microphone and preferably a camera before your meetings.
- The video appointments have a maximum length of 6 minutes to ensure teachers can meet with all parents during the evening.
- If you have any questions you wish the teacher to cover in the meeting please add these to the comments box when you make the appointment so the teacher can see these in advance.
How to Book Appointments
Appointments can be booked directly through the following website – https://www.stepneyallsaints.schoolcloud.co.uk

Please note appointments will close 2 days before the parents’ evening. It is possible that a subject teacher will request to make an appointment for you, if this is the case when you log into School Cloud that appointment will have already appeared in your appointments schedule.
