School parents evenings could be set to remain online beyond the coronavirus pandemic following positive feedback for virtual meetings.
The government s education catch-up tsar Sir Kevan Collins told a House of Lords committee last week that video calls were much better than trying to find a parking space on a wet Tuesday and waiting your turn .
Karl Rourke-Beasley, deputy headteacher at Stowmarket High School, said feedback from parents for the online meetings has been largely positive.
Mr Rourke-Beasley said the virtual meetings provided greater flexibility for parents and teachers, with regard to childcare arrangements, and were sharp and focused and did not overrun.
Jo and Zoe Brant surrounded by the carnage caused by their nocturnal poltergeist The terrifying antics of a poltergeist were driving a Hereford family out of their minds and their home, the Hereford Times reported in 1996. Jo and Zoe Brant were reported to have stood their ground when objects started flying around the rooms of their Newton Farm Flat. We were petrified, said Mrs Brant. Some pictures missed us by inches and unit doors in the kitchen were flying open. A family wedding photograph fell of the wall, smashing the glass, and the dog won t go into Zoe s bedroom at all now. He just runs straight back out.
