School Communication Channels

We want to work with all our families to ensure your children are happy and well educated.  If you have any concerns at all, please follow the steps below.  

Class teacher – this person is generally the person in school who knows the most about your child.  They are generally available first thing in the morning and after school at night.  If it seems a little busy at these times please don’t hesitate to ring the school office and they will endeavour to return your call and set up a meeting. Please be mindful that our first priority at the end of the day is to safely release children to parents.

Assistant Headteacher – if you feel that you still have a concern having spoken with your child’s class teacher then please do not hesitate to contact one of our Assistant Headteachers – Neil Hardy (Year 6 and Year 5), Keeley West (Year 4), Bethany Lemm  (Year 3),Sara Waterson (Year 2)Helene Vickerman (Year 1) Kathryn Holland (EYFS) is also available to speak with about your child’s learning.
