From 31st March 2020 we will no longer be using text messaging to contact you about school events or information about your child. We will be using an email based communication method instead. It is vital that we have the main parent or carer's email address on file. If you have not done so already, please give the school office your email address.
PARENT LITE APP
We will be sending out an invitation link to you so you can download the Parent Lite App. This will enable you to view and amend your child's contact information, medical information and dietary requirements.
