Academic Reporting, Examinations and Parents' Meetings
In addition to end-of-half reports, parents are invited to Eton on an annual basis to meet masters and discuss academic progress. The arrangements for these meetings and their relationship with internal and external examinations and university application are as shown in the table. Parents receive a house master letter and a tutor letter at the end of every half.
