I am writing to inform you of the family conferences which will be running on the 9, 10, 30 and 31 of March 2010. The main aims of these conferences will be:

• To provide the opportunity for self-reflection of and planning for future academic success
• To reinforce the importance of school and home working together to maximise academic success
• To agree a plan of action designed to attain targets

The family conference evenings will provide an invaluable opportunity for you to meet with your child’s tutor or key worker and identify precise ways in which your child can build on their achievements to fulfil their potential. At The Elmgreen School we feel it is very important that you attend the Target Setting Interview so that you can support both the school and your child in reaching their targets.

You will be invited to attend via a letter which will have your interview time stated. Every parent or carer will be required to attend family conference, and students will need to attend the interview in full uniform. Attendance at the interview is compulsory for your child. The interview will last for 15mins, and in order to ensure the smooth running of the evening, we would appreciate your prompt arrival.

Yours faithfully
Paul Castle
Assistant Head Teacher
