Message for Parents/Carers

Dear Parent,

The following notes are intended to tell you something about this school. I have attempted to cover the areas which will probably be of interest or concern to parents and at the same time to inform you of the aims that we have for your child.

My teaching colleagues and I are firmly of the opinion that school and parents must work together to ensure that children receive the best possible education.

I fully appreciate that this booklet will not be able to answer all the questions that you would like to ask and I hope that if this is the case, you will contact the school and arrange for a personal interview.

Yours sincerely

Mr Colin Lyle
Headteacher
