Student Contact
In this uncertain time whilst your child is away from school, my staff will contact each child at least once a week to check they are safe and well. This contact will be in school times, 8.30am to 3pm and may come from a withheld number. Please answer this and take the opportunity to speak with my lovely staff so we can have regular contact to keep in touch so we know you are all safe and well.
Best wishes
Neil Wilkinson
