Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Performing Arts department is always looking to find ways to improve and streamline our processes and to keep our children safe, and this has led us to review the timetabling process for the peripatetic lessons. Â
From August 2024, we will be using a platform called PracticePal (Music) to schedule lessons. The main benefits of this are:
- The platform integrates with our attendance system, (iSAMS), so we can keep the attendance data up to date at all times.
- The platform will email class teachers and tutors in the morning to remind the pupils that have a lesson that day.
- PracticePal allows peripatetic teachers to record what has been covered in the lesson and set practice activities.
- If you choose, you can download the PracticePal app for quick access to timetabled lessons and teacher comments.
We will be setting this up over the next few weeks so that we are ready to fully change over in August. You may receive an email from PracticePal to invite you. Kindly mark this mail as safe.
Wishing you a great summer break when it arrives,
Best regards
The Performing Arts Team
