St Edmund’s Catholic Academy hosted its inaugural whole-school Settling In Evening yesterday, extending a warm welcome to parents and caregivers. This event provided a valuable platform for attendees to convene with their respective form tutors and engage in discussions regarding how the children are settling in and progressing so far this term, their attitude to learning, and their engagement in the wider academy life.

The school community was heartened by the enthusiastic turnout of parents and caregivers, demonstrating a strong commitment to their children’s education.

Claire highlighted the event’s value in enabling attendees to seek clarification on school procedures and homework policies, underlining its role in promoting transparency and understanding. She felt reassured that the children were settling in well.

Shelly said, “Everyone was very welcoming and it was a great opportunity to meet form tutors, build contact between parents and the school, and reassure us that the children are settling in well”.

Vik said, “I enjoyed being at school and seeing what my child sees every day and making connections with the school. I asked a question that needed further investigation and it was answered before 9 am the next morning”.
