How to get in touch

We continue to develop our communication systems to help keep you fully informed.

Please ensure all contact details for students are up to date at all times - contact the main school office with changes.

Please be aware that staff can not always respond to queries instantly. We will try to ensure all communication is swiftly dealt with.

The new Class Charts app will be used extensively to try to combine much of what we communicate. Parents/carers should have received separate specific information about how to download and use the app. https://www.classcharts.com/
