At St. Julian’s Primary, we believe children make the most progress when parents and teachers work closely together. We will keep you informed about your child’s progress in a variety of ways throughout the school year. We invite parents to make an appointment to meet with their child’s teacher at any point during the year should they be concerned about their child’s progress, but have two formal parents’ evenings each academic year.

Booking an appointment for Parents’ Evening
When a Parents’ Evening is approaching, parents will usually be notified in our school newsletter and also via text message at least one month before the event. Appointments can either be made online or via the school office. The booking system will usually go live two weeks before the Parents’ Evenings take place and parents will receive a letter with an event code and instructions on how to make a booking. Parents will also receive a text message with a direct link to the booking system. Please note that you will not be able to access the booking system until it goes live two weeks prior to the parents’ evening taking place.

Type in the event code which will have been provided to you by the school. If you do not have this, please contact the school office using our online form.
Enter your email address, full name, number of children you need to book appointments for their names.
Select the class teachers for each child from the drop-down list.
Select an appointment for each child by clicking in the box underneath the time slot which suits you. Only available appointments will show a box underneath. If there is no box underneath the time slot, then that appointment has already been taken. Once you have clicked a box, it will turn blue with a tick in it. If you are happy with that appointment, click ‘Go’.
