Parents Evening Letter
Parents Evenings – In Person and Video Call
Dear Parents/Carers,
We are planning our next Parents Evenings to take place on Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th October 2021. We are pleased to be able to give you the choice of either an in-person appointment on Tuesday or a video call on Wednesday.
We will be using the School Cloud Parents Evening Booking System, if you have not used this system before please follow the attached instructions.
Booking your Parents Evening Appointment
Parents will be able to book their appointment at https://uphill.schoolcloud.co.uk from Sunday 10th October at 11.00am. The booking system will close on Wednesday 13th October at 4.00pm. If you have not used this system before please follow the attached instructions
Your log in for this system uses information held on our records, if this is not up to date you may struggle to log in. In readiness for the booking opening on 10th October, we recommend that parents check they can log in successfully. If you are struggling to log in, please contact the school office.
In-Person Appointments
For those attending Parents Evening at school the appointments are for up to 2 adults, can we politely ask that all attendees wear a mask and arrive on time. Please remember, this is a short meeting to see how your child is progressing; each appointment is for 10 minutes. We are aiming to keep numbers to a minimum and therefore would prefer not to have too many parents waiting for their appointment, it is essential your allocated time does not over run. Please be aware we will have After School Club in operation, if your 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 Parents Evening will be held in your child’s classroom. Years 3,4,5 and 6 Parents Evening will be held in the hall.
How Video Calling Will Work
Please click on the link at the bottom of this letter for a comprehensive ‘how to’ guide giving you all 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 the Parents Evenings.
