Autumn Parents Evenings – October 2024
Dear Parents/Carers,
We have continued with the same format of last year’s October Parent’s Evenings. The Parent Evenings will take place as follows:
EYFS & Year 1 will be able to book face-to-face appointments for Wednesday 16th October from 3.30pm-7.00pm & Thursday 17th October from 3.30pm-6.30pm. These will be held in the EYFS/Year 1 classrooms.
Years 2-6 will be able to book face to face appointments on Wednesday 16th October from 3.30pm-7.00pm. These will be held in the classrooms for Y2 and in the school hall for all other year groups.
Years 2-6 will be able to book a video call appointment on Thursday 17th October from 4.00pm-7.00pm.
We will be using the School Cloud Parents Evening Booking System; if you have not used this system, please follow the attached instructions. Your log in for this system uses information held on our records, if this is not up to date or not exactly as stored on our system you may struggle to log in. In readiness of the booking system opening on 1st October, we recommend that parents check they can log in successfully, particularly our new EYFS parents. If you are struggling to log in, please contact the school office.
Booking your Parents Evening Appointment
Face to face appointments:
Parents will be able to book their appointment at https://uphill.schoolcloud.co.uk from Tuesday 1st October at 6.00pm. The booking system will close at 6.00pm on the day before each parents evening.
For parents attending the evenings at school, the appointments are for up to 2 adults. Can we politely ask that all attendees arrive on time. Please remember, this is a short meeting to see how your child is progressing; each appointment is for 10 minutes.
Please be aware we will have After School Club in operation, so if you are bringing your child, they must remain with you at all times; they are unfortunately not able to play in the outside areas. For EYFS, Year 1 & Year 2 appointments will be held in your child’s classroom. Years 3,4,5 and 6 appointments will be held in the hall.
Thursday 12th October – Video Call:
Please click on the link at the bottom of this letter for a comprehensive ‘how to’ guide, giving you the information you need to be able to take part in the video call. On your appointment day, just before your start time, parents will need to log in to the system at https://uphill.schoolcloud.co.uk and start the video call. Please remember, this is a short meeting to see how your child is progressing; each appointment is for 10 minutes and will automatically stop at the end of your time.
Checking the Call Works
It is essential that you check you can use the video system before your appointment. Please make sure you follow the guidance and test your access prior to your parents evening.
We have no facility to contact you or ‘call you in’ if you cannot get into your video call.

We look forward to seeing you all at your Parents Evening.
Yours sincerely
