Parent Good afternoon, Mr Wilkins. I was hoping we could discuss how Emily has been getting on since the last report. Teacher Good afternoon, Mrs Thompson. Emily's work has improved in several areas, although some difficulties remain. Her English essays have been marked more highly because she has started using a wider range of vocabulary. Parent That is encouraging. Has she managed to complete the history project that was set before the holidays? Teacher She handed it in two weeks late. If she had planned her time more carefully, the project would have received a higher grade. The research itself was solid, but the final presentation lacked structure. Parent I see. What about mathematics? Her father and I have been concerned since the last parents' evening. Teacher The results of the recent test were better than expected. Emily scored seventy-two per cent, which places her in the middle of the class. She has been attending the extra support sessions on Tuesday afternoons, and that has clearly helped. Parent Would she have reached that score without the extra lessons? Teacher Probably not. If the sessions had not been offered, she might still be struggling with algebra. The passive constructions in her science reports have also improved because she has been reading more widely. Parent I am pleased to hear that. Are there any subjects where she continues to find the work demanding? Teacher French remains a challenge. Her oral marks are low because she hesitates when she is asked to speak without preparation. We have suggested that she joins the lunchtime conversation club, but she has not done so yet. Parent I shall speak to her about that this evening. Thank you for the detailed update. Teacher You are welcome. If Emily continues to attend the maths support and starts the French club, her overall progress should become more consistent by the end of term.
