Dear Parent or Carer,
We would like to invite you to our Year 9 Academic Review Day on Thursday 8th February. The event will be held in the school’s Sixth Form Centre between the hours of 8am and 7pm.
The day will provide you with the opportunity to meet with your child’s Form Tutor to discuss their academic progress.
This year, appointments will be made via an online booking system. Full details of how to log in and make a booking are outlined here. Tutors will publish their hours of availability (i.e. 8am-3.30pm) and appointments are to be made during this window. Tutors will ensure they allocate enough slots to enable each of their tutees to receive an appointment. These will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. In the instance that you log in to the Parents Meetings platform to find no appointments slots remaining, please contact the school using bhsenquiries@sch.im.
We recommend that you log into the system before Friday 26th January 2024 to ensure you can gain access to the platform. You will not, however, be able to make an appointment until bookings open. If you are experiencing any difficulties, please contact the school using bhsenquiries@sch.im.
Online booking will be open from:
- 8am on Monday 29th January 2024 until midday on Tuesday 6th February 2024.
Please ensure you log in as soon as possible to ensure that you secure your preferred appointment time.
When you make your appointment, you will have the option to enter any queries relating to your child’s progress that you wish to discuss during the 15 minute meeting. Your child’s tutor will then endeavour to gather the relevant information from the appropriate subject staff in advance of Academic Review Day. Please note, questions can’t be entered or edited once the booking has been made.
Year 9 students will only attend school with their parent(s)/carer(s) during their appointment, while wearing full school uniform. The rest of the day will be home study leave as tutors will be managing their meetings all day.
Following the conversation with your child’s tutor, there will be an opportunity to meet with a member of teaching staff to discuss your child’s option choices, should you wish to do so. These appointments do not need to be scheduled. Representatives from the Careers Service and University College Isle of Man will also be available at various times throughout the day.
If you have any questions about the above event or anything related to your child’s option choices, please do not hesitate to contact Miss Thompson or myself.
Yours sincerely,
Miss J. Hicks
Key Stage 3 & 4 Leader
Miss C. Thompson
Head of Year
