School Meetings

We value the time we are able to spend with our families working together to achieve
the very best for the children in our school. Staff will always do their utmost to make
time to meet with parents to discuss concerns. Unfortunately, recently a large number of
families have not attended meetings that have been booked for them, nor have they
made contact to advise us that they are unable to attend. This can mean that an
opportunity to meet with someone else who needs our time has been missed.
If you are notified that a meeting has been booked for you and you need to reschedule,
please contact school and let us know.
