Mr Khan’s Parents Evening Survival Kit

The Parents' Evening Survival Kit

Preparation, scripts, tricky conversations and templates for EYFS to Year 6

Ten minutes. Thirty families. One very long evening.

You have a few minutes with each family to celebrate their child, share honest information and agree how to work together. This kit helps you do exactly that: confidently, kindly and on time.

What's inside

• Parents' evening on one page: ten golden rules
• Before the evening: a two-week preparation timeline, room set-up tips and a reminder to check who you can share information with
• The ten-minute meeting: welcome, strengths, progress, next steps, the parent's voice and close
• What to say: scripts for good news, concerns, behaviour, friendships, attendance, possible additional needs and more
• Tricky situations: upset or angry parents, running over time, disagreements, complaints and what to do if you ever feel unsafe
• Different families, different meetings: EYFS, Year 6, SEND, families who speak English as an additional language, and phone or online meetings
