Booking Guardian Consultations (Parent's Evenings) on the Parent Portal or Parent App

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.

On the Parent Portal On the 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.

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.

  • Select a different time slot and click Reschedule meeting to change your slot.
  • Click Amend guardians to remove one of the child's guardians or add them back into the meeting.

If you've unticked yourself as the attending guardian, you'll have the option to book a separate meeting slot if your school allows this.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
