Guest Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I am hoping that a knowledgable someone will be able to answer a question! Is it statutory, in a reception class, to provide a written report every term or is it acceptable to offer a parent's evening instead of a written report? I have only looked briefly but I see, in Section 2 - Assessment, 'Parents and/or carers should be kept up- to-date with their child's progress and development'. I have not had a chance to look elsewhere in the Framework and am hoping for some guidance here! :mellow:
Froglet Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 We do one written report a year - in the summer. We do parents evenings in October and February.

catma Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Yes it is. As a school you have to provide a written report once a year. As long as you are updating parents thoughout the year before they get a report then you are meeting requirements. It is not about written reports - just ensuring parents know how their child is doing and nothing in an annual report should come as a surprise. cx 1

catma Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Having said that, if the policy of the school is to have written reports termly then that is the policy of the school!! It's for the HT to decide. Cx
Guest Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Thanks Catma. I have sent a PM - hope that's ok!
