Who Do I Contact?
General Queries
For general queries, your first point of contact should be your child’s Class Tutor. You may also wish to speak to the Year Tutor, but please go through the Class Tutor first.
Subject Queries
For subject queries, your first point of contact should be your child’s subject teacher. You may also wish to speak to the Subject Leader, but please go through the subject teacher first.
Pastoral Queries
For pastoral issues, your first point of contact should be your child’s Class Tutor.
In some situations, it may be appropriate to contact the senior member of staff responsible for each Key Stage or the Pastoral Vice Principal.
Child Protection
If you need to contact school about a child protection issue, the Designated Teacher for Child Protection is the Pastoral Vice Principal, Mrs Aitcheson and the Deputy Designated Teachers are Mrs Rayot, Dr Byrne, Mr McMahon and Mrs Campbell-Nesbitt.
Contacting the Principal
The Principal can also be contacted via telephone or you may wish to make an appointment via his P.A., Mrs Ingram.
How Soon Will the School Respond to my Query?
In most cases, staff will try to respond very quickly. However, this will not always be possible. The expectation is that you should receive a response within five working days at the most.
If you need to contact the school regarding an urgent matter or, in the unlikely event that you are experiencing difficulties with the systems set out above, please contact either Vice Principal.
