Dear Parent/Carer,

Progress and Preparation Day Years 8, 9, 10 and 11

Friday 13 October 2017

As part of our commitment to raising achievement and informing parents/carers of student

progress, we hold an annual day where parents/carers can meet their son/wards tutor. This is
to discuss progress over the last academic year and prepare for the year ahead.

On this day, normal lessons will be suspended, and each student, accompanied by their
parent(s)/carer(s), will have a ten-minute interview with his form tutor. At the interview, there will
be an opportunity to analyse his progress last year and to discuss your son/wards target
levels/grades for the year ahead. The aim of this process is to ensure that your son/ward achieves
his full potential at Isleworth & Syon.

In order for us to be able to provide you with a suitable appointment time, we ask that you please
complete the online response form indicating the preferred time of day for the interview. You can
find the response form, as well as this letter, at www.isleworthsyon.org/PPD2017. If a preferred
time is not indicated by the deadline - 8.00am on Friday 6 October then a time will be selected
for you.

If you have multiple children at the school, please only complete a form for your youngest child
and indicate the other children in the appropriate boxes form tutors can then attempt to co-
ordinate interview times for your convenience.

You will be notified of the precise time in advance of the interview, via a note in your son/wards
Student Planner. Whilst we cannot guarantee to meet with you at your preferred time, we will do
our best to accommodate your choice. In exceptional circumstances, some staff may be able to
offer an appointment before 8.30am. Please indicate on the form if you would benefit from an
early appointment should they be available.

On the day, please arrive at least five minutes before the interview time and report to the sign-in
area in the school library, where paperwork and additional information will be issued prior to the
interview. Students should attend in full school uniform.

I look forward to seeing you on Friday 13 October. We ask that you please complete the response
form by 8.00am on Friday 6 October at the latest.

Yours faithfully,

Ms J Higginbottom
Deputy Headteacher
