If your school is running Guardian Consultations (parent's evenings) and has enabled you to book, you'll be able to select a time through the Parent Portal or Parent App.
You'll see on your homepage whether there is an upcoming Guardian Consultation.
In the case where no Parents Evening has been arranged, the section will state the below:
If a Consultation event has been created but the self-scheduling has not yet been enabled by the School yet, the dates of the parents evening will be shown with a note of when self-scheduling is available.
You can view more details about the meeting and book a slot if your school has enabled this.
If it isn't possible to book a meeting yet but you believe you should be able to, get in touch with your school. You can also add a note here.
You'll be able to see when booking is available.
Click to access the booking page and select the meeting to book.
You can download a list of the meetings you have booked as a PDF by clicking on the green Download my meetings button.
Click on the Time slot drop-down button and choose the time you would like to attend the consultation, and which guardians will be attending. Top Tip: You can select from any guardians the school has linked to the child, but only guardians with parental responsibility can log into Parent Portal.
If you can't select a time slot, it means the staff member has not been given a period of availability - get in touch with your school and ask them to add this into their setup to enable you to book a slot.
Make sure at least one guardian is ticked, or you'll receive an error.
The page will then reload and show that your booking has been successful. You'll be sent an email confirmation.
You can edit your booking by returning to the page and clicking on your booking.

If you want to remove an incorrect booking or add yourself back into the original booking, get in touch with your school and ask them to amend this for you.
On the main page, if your school has opened booking, you can select Guardian Consultations.

So how do I book my slot with my school ?
Hi Samantha,
If your school is using the Parent Portal or Arbor App you'll be able to follow the instructions in this guide to book your slot. If you can't see any guardian consultations for your child or you're not sure if your school is using the Parent Portal, please contact your child's school directly.
For some meetings there are no time slot dropping down, what should I do?
Hi Taimi, if you aren't able to book a slot, it means the staff member has not been given a period of availability - you'll need to contact your school and ask them to add this into their setup to enable you to book a slot.
