• Message from the Headteacher

  Fri 20 Oct 2023

  Message from the Headteacher:
  'Staff in school work hard to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all children. Whilst the vast majority of parents are polite and supportive and we thank you for that, there have been occasions where some parents have been abusive to staff and this will not be tolerated. The Governors will not accept verbal abuse against any staff member and will take appropriate action'.
