Our philosophy is clear. We much prefer to hear about problems and queries whilst they are small and easier to solve.
We welcome all parents to contact us, usually via the Form Teacher / Head of Year, whenever they feel it is necessary to do so. Parents can also contact members of the Senior Leadership Team directly when the need arises. Regular parent consultation evenings and an annual Tutor/Parent Interview Day are held which also help strengthen this vital partnership. The Home-School Agreement which outlines the partnership between student, parent and staff is reviewed annually and is in the student’s planners.
We listen to students and parents / carers feedback. Here are some of the things you have said and what we have done:

Can we use e-mail or text messages for communication with parents / carers |
A text message service has been introduced and are sent out as needed. E-mail is used in many departments to communicate with home. |
|
We want more information about upcoming events and news on the website |
We have introduced a new look website which has a “Current News” feature, one click audience pages which get you to the information you want and a modern feel. |
|
We would like to know how to help with revision. |
A revision evening workshop was trialled last year. Feedback was extremely positive and a programme is being put in place for this year. |
