When parents and teachers work together, most difficulties can be solved quickly and effectively. If teachers are seriously concerned about any aspects of a student’s education or development they will usually contact the parents. Such contact is often initiated by the Head of Year, but it might equally well be another teacher who is concerned about the student’s progress in their subject. By the same token, parents are encouraged to contact us if they are worried about any aspect of their child’s education. Heads of Department and Heads of Year provide the most immediate points of contact.
