Timetables

Classroom Staff 

Knowing which staff members are supporting your child each day is important. It helps you build positive relationships with the adults working closely with your child, ensuring they feel safe, supported, and understood. In your child’s class booklet, you’ll find a list, and photos, of the staff members assigned to their class.

Communication

Communication is essential for the smooth daily running of the academy. Dojo is our platform of choice for day to day communication. You will receive daily updates regarding your child’s day at school through dojo.

As a parent you may wish to use dojo to keep your child’s class teacher updated with general information related to your child e.g. they have had little sleep that evening. Staff members will do their best to respond to all messages as promptly as possible. Please note there is no expectation for staff members to respond outside of working hours. Any notifications of absence or important updates (e.g. changes to medical conditions) should be directed to reception by telephone. Leaving such messages on dojo may mean they are missed. 

Illness

If your child is not well enough to attend school, please phone the school and leave a message. Please note that if a pupil is sick they should remain at home for 48 hours after the last time they were sick.
