We are now running our Progress Evenings on site. We will be using the Schoolcloud system to make the bookings, but the appointments will be in person at school. The link for our school system to make bookings is https://waltonledale.schoolcloud.co.uk/
For a full guide on how to use the system, click here
It is important to note that each teacher can have about 25 appointments in the course of the evening and the duration of each appointment is fixed. Some teachers, particularly in the lower years of school, will teach several groups so it is important to prioritise which teachers you wish to speak to. Please recognise that this is just one way in which we communicate with parents and carers and we are happy to arrange email or telephone feedback from teachers who you may not be able to see.

The first one will take place on 16th October. This is a 'settling in' parents' evening when you will have the chance to speak to your child's form tutor to see how they have settled into the new academic year. This will be done virtually by video call through SchoolCloud. More details will be emailed to you about this, along with details for Year 7 parents and carers to explain how to log in to SchoolCloud.
All our other Progress Evenings this academic year will take place in the school building with face to face appointments. We also use SchoolCloud as our appointment system for our face to face Progress Evenings. We encourage our students to come to the Progress Evenings with you.
We look forward to seeing you and our students at these evenings.
