Ensuring our new students have the smoothest transition possible is something we value very strongly, and we are already looking into ways that we can stay in touch with your child before starting with us in September.
We can assure you that your child’s place with us is safe. We will be in regular contact with you by email and you will be asked to complete an online admissions form. If your daughter has a place with us for September 2025 but you have not received any emails from us please contact us as soon as possible.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mr Parker via email
If your daughter has a Special Educational Need or Disability and you would like to discuss this further please email Mrs Zarar ( Assistant Headteacher & SENCO).
All future correspondence will be via email, so please check your email regularly.
School Uniform
Please ensure that your child is appropriately dressed for school at all times.
