Upcoming Parent/Carer Events

You are being invited by the College to attend a Virtual Parent/Carers’ online event, on either the afternoon/evening of Thursday 22nd January 2025 from 5.00-8.00pm or Tuesday 27th January from 3.30-6.30pm to discuss your child’s progress with subject teachers.  We are continuing to use the online ‘school cloud’ system, you are therefore not required to attend in person. 

If you wish to participate, please click here log on to the system and make appointments with the staff you wish to see. The system will allow appointments of a maximum of seven minutes in length. You will receive an automatic email with a copy of the appointments and a link to connect you on the evening. Please note – the booking system will open at 6.00pm on Thursday 8th January and will close on Wednesday 21st January at 12.00 (noon). After the 22nd the booking link will reopen again for the second evening closing at 12 noon on Monday 26th January again.

Please click here for a guide on how to use the booking system.

If you require further assistance, please email centraladmin@wqe.ac.uk . When mailing us, we will require you to give your child’s name, ID number, your name, your email address and telephone number. 

Please note that this has been set up with the parental email for the primary contact that we currently have on our system, any updates to this information must be managed by the student with their PPM before we can make an appointment.

Staff will make every effort to adhere strictly to appointments, and we ask that you also co-operate in this respect.  Issues which require lengthy discussions are not easily dealt with on evenings such as this, so if there is a need for a fuller discussion, we can arrange a further appointment at a more appropriate time.

If you make appointments but are unable to attend on the day, please phone us on (0116) 247 1147 and speak to Ashiyah Nathanie or Rachel Cumberlidge.

We look forward to joining you on-line, on either Thursday 22nd January or Tuesday 27th January.

Please note that these events are for Level 3 Year 1 students only.
