Please note that your child’s Head of Year, Pastoral Manager, Tutor or Subject Teachers may not always be available to take your call or respond to emails immediately during the school day. This is due to pastoral or teaching commitments. Parents/carers can email or leave a message with reception and we will endeavour to return all calls and emails within 48 hours.

If you have a safeguarding enquiry or emergency, please contact the reception team on 01274 771444 or [email protected]
