Parents' Evenings
Parents’ evenings are a great opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher and make sure everyone is aware of the progress your child is making, as well as of their strengths and potential areas for growth, so that your family can benefit fully from a BSM education. This online approach offers flexibility to parents who may be travelling or who may have work or family commitments for when the event is scheduled. Parents' evenings run online from 3.30pm - 6.30pm.

Parental Engagement Events
In these series of events built throughout the academic year, you will have the opportunity to come and visit the BSM site and understand from a range of teaching colleagues around your child’s journey throughout their relevant key stage. Whether it is settling into a new year/school or developing understanding of exam skills, the events are designed to share information while also engaging and supporting parents. Throughout the year at these events you will have opportunities to meet and speak with Senior leaders, Heads of Department, Pastoral leaders and gain further advice on how you can continue to support your child.

Why are we staying online?
Our online Parents Meeting system offers the same 5-minute meeting times as our previous face-to-face meetings. Online parent meetings also offer privacy, accurate meeting times and flexibility for parents who are unable to attend physical meetings at the BSM site, due to work, travel or family commitments. This has led to a better overall experience for many parents, students and staff.
Any parents who would like to meet with their child's teacher and have a deeper discussion in person or via a phone call, should contact the Senior School Office and we will be happy to set up a meeting.

Troubleshooting sign up
To login you need to enter the details we have on record for you and your child. If you have recently changed your title or surname, for example, and not informed us, we will be expecting you to login with the details we have on record. Please check the Parent Portal to confirm the data we have on record.
If you have several children to make bookings for, and decide not to use the Booking Wizard, but instead make appointments individually, use the ‘Change Child’ button on the blue bar (above the school’s name) in the very top left corner of the Parent’s Booking Page to swap between your children.
You need to click on the link or type the address into your website browser’s ‘address bar’ (http://www.parents-booking.co.uk/britishschoolmuscat). Do not try to ‘Google’ this website address or use a search engine as that will not work. This is a common mistake on phones and tablets especially.
Troubleshooting video calls
“The user did not give permission to access your media” This often means the internet browser is blocking access to the webcam. Look at your internet browser’s web address bar and check if the video symbol is ‘blocked’. If it is, unblock and refresh the web page.
If you have any questions please contact the Senior Office: senioroffice@britishschoolmuscat.com
