We are very keen that parents are involved in school life. Occasionally there may be problems and, if so, we would like to hear about them immediately so we can look into the situation and hopefully resolve it. Therefore if you have any suggestions for improvements that we could make please email the office. Parents' Forum is also used to increase home/school communication.
