If you need to let us know about anything, there are post boxes on the wall in the Canteen, outside the assistant headteacer's office on the Key Stage 1 corridoor or Key Stage 2 corridoor, these will be checked regularly throughout the day, so be assured one of us will always come and find you to discuss anything that you need.
