Curriculum Information

School Trips

We may be able to plan to provide at least one school trip per year, but will be asking for enough voluntary contributions for the trip to go ahead.

Who do I speak to if I have any concerns?

See your child’s class teacher to begin with (they will know your child best/spend the most time with them).
Class teachers will liaise as necessary with any relevant people (Mrs Podolska – Inclusion Manager, the Phase Leader for the key stage and/or Deputy Heads to support.
Appointments must be made by contacting the school office who can also assist you as necessary.
The Head teacher Mr Woodbridge is also available to support you with any concerns you may have once you have spoken to your child’s class teacher and phase leader unless it is a safeguarding concern. An appointment can be made to see him via the school office.
