I am just writing to let parents and carers know that our children are currently busy planning and rehearsing for their very first Student Led Conference.
You might be asking yourself, ‘what is a Student Led Conference (SLC) though?’
An SLC is an opportunity for your child to share with you ‘what they are proud of’ and an opportunity for them to make ‘pledges’ in order to get better at anything they may feel less confident in as we head into the last part of the year. This will be different for every child.
Your child will do all of the talking during their SLC and the Teacher will only step in if they need some help. This is the main difference to the traditional Parents Evening model, your child will be doing nearly all of the talking and showing you pieces of work in which they are proud of. Then, before Parents and Children head home for the evening, everyone will write down a pledge, in order to support the child to make even more progress in the Summer Term. All of this will be led by your child.
Green Top and Plover have already experienced an SLC and have shared that it’s such a lovely opportunity to hear the children talking about their HoWLs and Academic Progress and Parents love to see their child leading a meeting such as this, as it’s such a huge experience. I can’t wait to see them in action!
Our SLCs are going to take place during the week commencing Monday 2nd May 2022.
We are currently just making a tweak to the electronic booking form and should be able to share this on Monday next week.
SLCs will be taking place on the following days and between the following times. So that all children can attend their SLC, we have finished them earlier than we would normally, with 4.50 being our last appointment time. However, if you require a later slot, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s Class Teacher and they will be sure to accommodate you with this request.

We will share the booking link on Monday next week (hopefully), whereby you will be able to select a time that works for both you and your child. This will be done through a Google Form, like we did in the Autumn.
A few learning points from last time, in order to make things run smoother:
-Please remember to ask your child which Crew they are in, if you are not sure, as you need this information when booking
-You only need to book for one slot
We really are hoping to get every parent in attendance at our first round of SLC’s as the children really are trying so hard in order to perfect ‘their’ SLC and can’t wait to meet with you to show you their fabulous learning.
I look forward to welcoming you all into school in a few weeks time.
