A Warm Welcome From Our Admissions Team
Family Partnership
We know that our students’ success lies in strong home-school partnerships with parents, teachers and school leaders working closely together. Through our communication efforts we aim to keep parents well informed of happenings at school.
Our Family Association is the backbone of parental involvement in the social side of our school – organising volunteer teams and providing support and backing for a range of activities and events for the whole community. Activities are organised by specialist teams who run events and activities to support all our families.
