Learning and Curriculum
|
- All classes are dismissed by teaching staff at the end of each day. If the teacher is not there for any given reason another member of staff can pass on a message. Equally, we are aware that some parents are unable to be there at the end of the day for collection. If you would like to speak to your child’s class teacher (to request a phone call or a meeting, but cannot make the end of day pick up in person) please complete a meeting request form, available on the school website, which is picked up by the school office. The office will direct your message/query to the correct member of staff.

Safeguarding

- Please ask to speak directly to Mrs Cawte, Mr Holder or Mrs Shaw, (all Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs)). In their absence, please speak with the school SENDCO Ms Cameron
