Year 7 Virtual Consultation Evening

3rd November 2020

Dear parents/carers of year 7,

Year 7 virtual consultation evening – Thursday 12th November

In light of the current situation we are holding our parent and carer consultation evenings online. Subject teachers will meet with you and your child virtually on an individual basis to provide clear feedback on your child’s learning. 

The consultation evening will run from 3:30pm to 8.00pm.

You are able to book five minute appointment slots for each subject teacher using our electronic booking system, these meetings will then be held by video meeting rather than in-person at the school. 

The online system for booking appointments and attending the virtual appointments can be accessed here:

https://parents-booking.co.uk/ipswichacademy

In order to login to the system, you will need the following information relating to your child, as held in our database:

  • First name
  • Surname
  • Date of birth

You will also need to enter the details we have on record for you. If you have recently changed your title or surname, for example, and not informed us, we will be expecting you to login with the details we have on record. The email address you enter is only used to receive a confirmation of your appointment. If the system gives you an error when you login, it will not be the email address that is the problem.

On the day of your appointments, you need to login again at the website address above. You will be able to join the video meeting room 10 minutes before your appointments are due to begin. 

Internet Browser Compatibility:
You must use one of the below device and internet browser combinations for the video meeting technology to work:

  • Apple iPhone/iPad (iOS 11+): Safari
  • Android phone/tablet: Chrome or Firefox
  • Linux computer: Chrome or Firefox
  • Microsoft Surface: Chrome or Firefox
  • Mac computer: Safari, Chrome or Firefox
  • Windows computer: Chrome, Firefox or Edge (Chromium)

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • If you cannot login please contact the school office.
  • The email address field entered is only used to send your appointment confirmation. If you have problems logging in, it will not be because of the e-mail address you entered.

You can find a full guide on how the system works by clicking here.

Contact details if you are in need of assistance from the administration team:

If you do not have access to the Internet, or do not have a suitable device to use for the appointments, please phone the school on the number above to make alternative arrangements.

Some subjects may not be available or may be fully booked on the evening, if you would like to discuss your child’s progress in subjects not available please contact the school and we will arrange for the member of staff to call you.

Many thanks for your ongoing support.

Yours sincerely
