The school provides a warm, welcoming and emotionally secure environment for all pupils and high priority is given to ensuring that the transition from home to school is pleasurable and well ordered.
We regard parents as partners in the continuing education of their children and good communication between parents and teachers is encouraged, endeavouring at all times to keep parents fully informed about their children’s learning and how they can effectively support that learning.
