Video Appointments
From 2021 we are excited to now offer video appointments for parents evening from directly within the parents evening system. This should make it much easier for parents to take part and avoid any additional admin from having to setup and use teams.
To attend your appointments via video call all you need to do is login to the parents evening system at the appropriate time and it will automatically connect you to the right teacher at the right time.
Important Notes
- Appointment times are strictly enforced by the system. Meetings cannot start early and will be automatically disconnected at the end of your allotted time. A warning bar will show you how much time you have left for your meeting.
- You can invite a guest to join any of your meetings, this means if one parent books the meetings, they can invite the other to join them. Alternatively you may want a guardian to join with you as well.
- Please make sure you login with enough time before you're first meeting so you can start on time.
