Dear Meet the Parents families,

Our 2017 events kick off in just under a week’s time - and we just wanted to wish you the very best of luck with them.

You might be on our very important reserves list..so look out for an email, in case we need you to step in.

YOUR TICKET FOR TAKING PART
This year, every time a student panellist takes part, we’ll give you two free tickets to your local Odeon cinema. You can take a friend or an adult. We want to show our appreciation for the time you are giving up to talk about your school. We will hand them out to you on the night. We will also be sending you a certificate for taking part, which your school can put on your National Record of Achievement. Since Meet the Parents is unique to Camden, it is also a great thing to talk about at interviews.

LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
We will be taking photos at all our events this year. We will send some of them to the host primaries, so they can use them in their newsletters. We’ll also use them for our own newsletter. If you don’t want to be photographed, please let us know on the night.

YOU CAN”T BE TOO PERSONAL
When you are talking at an event, you don’t have to worry about questions about school exam results etc. We will be on hand for all that kind of information if people need it. The whole point of Meet the Parents is to tell YOUR OWN STORY of what it is like for you as a student or parent at your school. We are trying to encourage people to see a good school as more than just results. What matters is how our sons and daughters turn out - their values and their confidence to cope with life. 

EVEN SO…
If we do get questions about leagues tables etc, this year we can REALLY SELL our local schools. We have all the figures, and they show that children do JUST AS WELL at their local school as they would further afield - or in a private school or grammar school. And they have all the benefits of staying in the community with a network of friends.

On this upbeat note, we would like to thank you again for supporting Camden’s pioneering Meet the Parents project. See you very soon !

All the best,

Issi and Madeleine
