how to contact us

One of our team will always be on the gate first thing in the morning and at home-time too. Alternatively if you call the school office on 01772 728052 you can ask to speak to one of us and we can then make an appointment for you to come in for a chat. 

If someone working with your child in school feels that you may benefit from some extra help, one of our pastoral team will speak to you discreetly to find out if they can be of any help.  Support will only be offered if that is what you need and want.
