Parent and carer support

If you need to speak to someone in school about your child please call. Our office team are more than happy to arrange a phone call/ meeting when teachers are not in class. Our pastoral team is dedicated to providing exceptional support to parents and carers, ensuring they feel valued and involved in their child’s educational journey. With a compassionate and approachable approach, the team offers personalised guidance, actively listening to concerns and offering practical solutions. They work collaboratively with families, providing regular communication and updates on student progress, and are always available to address any challenges that may arise. By creating a strong, trusting relationship with parents and carers, our pastoral team ensures that families feel supported, empowered, and equipped to help their children thrive academically and emotionally.
