Who Can Help?

Effective communication between home and school is a vital two-way process and takes the form of both formal and informal meetings and written formats.  The Prep Diary is invaluable for recording messages to and from parents and teachers and is looked at in school and at home on a daily basis and is signed by parents and the class teacher, Head of Year or Headmistress at any time during the term, without waiting for a formal parents' evening as small issues are usually easily mended if dealt with promptly.  In the Autumn Term, after exams there is a short written report on all subject areas.  At the end of the Summer Term there is a final written report.

This website contains a significant amount of information for parents, and is also the means by which the school would inform parents of sudden emergency measures - such as the closing of the school owing to heavy snow.
