There are a number of dedicated channels for parents and carers to contact the school. Please use the links below to contact the school depending on the issue you wish to raise. Using these different channels helps the school direct your contact to the correct team efficiently and helps the school respond in a timely manner.
Our weekly email provides a comprehensive update on all areas of school life including: enrichment opportunities, sporting events, academic support, mental health and well-being, safeguarding, and school events such as Parents’ Evenings and celebrations.
This email can be sent to multiple family members, please contact the school if you need to update any email addresses or have the letter sent to other family members. The email is also published on our website each week.
