Senior School staff

Parents : Please note that your first point of contact should usually be your son's tutor.  We would request that you only contact another member of staff about an activity for which they are specifically responsible.   

Parents using email to contact staff should be aware that, whilst staff do check their emails daily during term-time, it may be up to 24 hours before a particular message is picked up.  It may also be then that time will need to be taken to investigate the issue raised.  During holiday periods there is no guarantee that a member of staff will access their email.
