Meeting You
Effective communication between you as parents/carers and the school, is an essential part of supporting your child in their progress. Whilst there are set dates in the school calendar for you to come into school to meet your child’s teachers, there will also be instances outside of these times, when you may wish to make contact with an individual member of staff within the school. To support you in being able to do this effectively, we ask that you follow the simple guidance below:
Who to contact
With almost 130 members of staff at the school, sometimes it is difficult to know who to contact.
- If your query relates to an academic issue, we ask that you contact your child’s subject teacher in the first instance. Your child’s subject teacher will be able to liaise with the Head of Department for that subject if this is necessary. On rare occasions, it may be appropriate to contact the Head of Department first, rather than the teacher directly, however, this will not normally be the case.
- E.g. If you have a query about your son/daughter’s progress in English or if you have a query regarding the homework set by your child’s mathematics teacher, you should contact your son/daughter’s English or mathematics teacher directly, as necessary.
- If your query relates to a non-academic issue, we ask that you contact your child’s tutor, who is the first point of contact regarding any pastoral issues. Your child’s tutor will be able to liaise with your child’s Head of Year if this is necessary.
- E.g. If you have a query relating to a friendship issue at school that you wish for us to be aware of or help resolve, you should contact your child’s tutor.
- There are a very small number of pupils for whom the first point of contact should be our Pastoral Team. If this is the case, this will have been previously agreed between the parent/carer and the respective member of staff.
- There are a number of other departments within the school, whom you may wish to contact, such as: – Admissions, Attendance, Exams, Finance, IT or School Reception
Visit us in person
There are times when you may value the opportunity to have a conversation in person with a member of staff. If this is the case, please use one of the below forms of communication to request a meeting. Given the number of pupils at the school, it is highly unlikely that if you arrive in Reception without an appointment that you will be able to see the member of staff whom you would wish to.
