The staff at the school work closely with parents to enable all students to achieve their potential. A Home - School agreement, developed in consultation with parents and students, is distributed at the start of Year 7 and thereafter is included in Handbooks. This sets out the aims and values of the school with a summary of the responsibilities of the school, parents and students. There is a formal Parents’ Consultation Evening with subject staff for each year group. The school guarantees minimum numbers of appointments, which increase as students progress through the school. If, for any reason a parent wishes to discuss their daughter’s or son’s progress or behaviour with staff at the school, arrangements can be made with the pastoral staff.
