I hope you are all aware that we encourage parents to communicate with key staff when they feel this is required. I would always advise parents that if there is something on your mind and you are wondering whether to ‘phone us, then please do. Even it turns out not to be a big issue it is better to talk things through with us.
Often your child’s Guidance teacher will be the first point of contact. I would however remind you that all staff, except the Head Teacher post, have a teaching commitment and may not be available to take your call at the time. For example our Guidance staff are in class for 13 periods a week and in addition to this they have a large caseload of around 325 pupils so are always dealing with many different issues so it may take some time for the member of staff to call you back. Obviously if a matter is urgent our office staff will always endeavour to have someone take your call.
