External Communications for Parents/Carers and School Community
This section of the school website is for external communication that school receives and asked to be passed on to parents. The purpose of this is to minimise the amount of emails that come from school directly to parents.
Links to these communications will be added to the weekly school newsletter on a Friday. We hope by doing this that it helps with communication, which is what came up from the communication survey we did the end of the summer term 2022.
