Contacting the School

Parents first point of contact with the School should always be with the form tutor with a note in the student planner or email to the school email. The form tutor is the most likely person to know if there are any problems concerning the student and is in a position to deal with any problems or queries as they arise.

If a parent/carer would like a paper copy of any of the information on our website or a translation they should contact the school office:
