Concerns & Complaints
All parents have a right to raise concerns, however this should be done via the appropriate channels and in a respectful way. It is not helpful or productive to air grievances on social media, doing so will not help to resolve concerns. As always, we welcome complaints or concerns to be directed to the school directly and we are completely willing to work through those concerns in a constructive manner. The use of social media to address concerns has the capacity to create unnecessary problems for all involved and is not conducive to a positive learning environment at school.
Parent, Student, Teacher Interviews
Another successful evening with nearly 2,000 interviews being conducted On Thursday 22nd. It was great to see so many parents taking a keen interest in their children's education and working with their teachers to help them get the most out of their time at school. If you attended the interviews please complete this short survey to help us improve future interviews.
