Welcome to the support for pupils department. A close partnership between parents/carers and staff is very much valued. Telephone, fax or e-mail contact is very welcome. As you are aware telephone contact can sometimes be difficult as we also teach subjects and Social Education, therefore e-mail may help to improve communication. Pupils can make contact with the relevant member of the team to inform them of any difficulties that they might be having at school. They can also request a guidance interview or careers interview through e-mail.
