Discussing your Childs Progress

In October 2011 the Principal and Senior Management Team were delighted to welcome all new parents to the college for an evening of information and discussion. The New Parents Evening provided an interesting and valuable opportunity to discuss:

Feedback about your son or daughter's experience of their first half-term
Any feedback or queries parents may have
An opportunity to give us feedback about how any of our processes could be improved

Each student works jointly with his or her teachers or personal tutor to regularly monitor progress against target grades for each course being studied. Whilst parents and students can discuss progress with tutors at any stage during the year, there are two Parents' evenings which include the discussion of a written progress report. These parents' evenings take place in November and April.

A Successful Parents' Evening

December 7th 2011

Parents' evening this week was a great success. Staff met with more than 160 parents and many came along with their sons and daughters. Regent College tracks the progress of every student five times each year and parents report that they are impressed by the feedback they receive and the guidance that we give to students. During and after every parents' evening we collect formal feedback about the guidance we offer.

Parents placed the following statements as their top five college achievements:

94.80% strongly agreed that they had been well informed about their son/daughter's progress
92.20% strongly agreed that they were very satisfied that teachers and tutors have provided their son/daughter with smart actions to improve
91.20% strongly agreed that there was an appropriate choice of course that met the needs and interests of their son/daughter
91.40% strongly agreed that they were very satisfied with the arrangements for parents' evening
91.30% strongly agreed that they were very satisfied that teachers and tutors had provided them with accurate assessments about their son/daughter
