However, we know that you may want more information on your child\u2019s daily life and progress, and we have a number of resources to help you stay in touch.<\/p>\n<p>The Parents\u2019 Gateway gives you to access your child\u2019s timetable, school reports and other personalised information. All new parents receive a log in for the Gateway before their child starts school.<\/p>\n<p>All students and their families are invited to at least one parent-teacher meeting during the year, with additional meetings for new students and for those preparing to make choices about subject options or higher education applications. Between these meetings, you are always welcome to contact academic, music or pastoral staff to discuss students\u2019 progress, to raise concerns or to ask questions. You should never feel that a question is too small; we are committed to the welfare of every student, and look forward to working with you to help your child make the most of studying at Chetham\u2019s.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/chethams.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/The-A-Z-of-Chethams-2026-2027.pdf\">The A-Z of Chetham&#8217;s 2026-2027<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/chethams.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Aims-and-Objectives-12.12.25.pdf\">Aims and Objectives, 2025 &#8211;
