Parents to Pupils

Parents who wish to contact pupils to relay a message, may do so by calling the school office. To minimise disruption to teaching and learning, we would request that this facility should only be reserved for emergencies. Any urgent messages will be passed to the pupil concerned.

Pupils must keep their phones switched off, and inside their school bag, during the school day. Parents should not use this as a method for communication during school hours.

The use of mobile phones by pupils during the school day is strictly prohibited. If pupils use a mobile phone during the school day, this will be treated as a breach of this rule and will result in confiscation of the phone under the School's Behaviour Policy. If pupils need to contact home during the day, they should speak with a member of staff, at break or lunchtime, who can then direct them to the School Office.

Using My Child at School (MCAS)

It provides real-time access to your child’s reports, key documents, messages, and contact details. All school trips, Parents can either download the MCAS app or access MCAS online.
