As we are currently avoiding mass gatherings and limiting access to the school for non-staff or students, parents evenings will not take place until further notice. There will be an interim report identifying how your child is settling into the school which will be published during Autumn Term 2, and you will be able to contact your child’s tutor in the event that you have any questions or concerns.
