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.
