Diary of an NQT: The dreaded parents’ evening...

NQTs
Our NQT diarist is preparing for his first parents’ evening. At the start of term he may not have much to report, but no news is good news, as they say...

It is coming. The dreaded parents’ evening. Tonight (as I write) I have a parents’ evening for year 9. Having a year 9 tutor group means that parents can come in to see how their children are getting on now that they have moved to “big” school (we are a 13 to 18 school).

I feel this is a difficult parents’ evening. Before the summer parents had a similar evening to come into school and meet their child’s tutor. However, since that initial meeting not much has changed. I have been back at school with my form for just over two weeks now. And, while I do teach a handful of my tutees, there are a majority that I don’t see all that often.
