Get in Touch

We have an open door policy in our academy, supported by safeguarding procedures, however wherever possible we would request parents book appointments in advance.
We keep in touch with parents through home-school diaries, the academy newsletter, letters home and this website.
We are happy to e-mail information home when parents and carers give us their e-mail addresses.
