• Texts to parents

  Wed 19 Sep 2018

  In May we sent out letters to all parents asking you to return a form giving us permission to add your mobile phone numbers to the the Teachers2Parents text service we use. We had to do this due to GDPR regulations.

   

  Many parents have chosen not to return this form, which means that they will be removed from this service. If you have not returned your form, but would like to remian on the text to parents service you can print off the form sent home in May and return it to school. CLICK HERE.
