We value communication with our parents, external agencies and friends of the school
For urgent matters please come in and speak to or phone a member of the school office team. For expedience, our contact information is published at the bottom of every page of this website. Please allow five working days for responses to all non-urgent emails or telephone calls.
Teaching staff, in particular, do not have access to messages whilst teaching, and we are privileged that so many of our staff supervise activities for our students both at lunchtime and beyond the school day. Hence, it is important to allow all staff sufficient time to read and respond to messages.
In common with other publicly-funded organisations, such as the NHS and Police, Whitehill Primary School expects that all members of its community are treated with courtesy and respect. The school has a zero-tolerance approach to any individual who behaves aggressively towards members of staff or students, or who uses vulgar or inappropriate language. In situations where such behaviours or language are exhibited – whether in person or via telephonic or electronic media – the school or its representative will terminate the conversation/meeting and, if appropriate, will ask the individual concerned to leave the school site until such time as s/he is able to conduct her/himself appropriately. Should any individual not accede to such a request, other authorities, including but not limited to the Police, may be contacted. Please click HERE for more information.
Parents/carers wishing to meet with a member of staff should telephone the school office to arrange a meeting. At least 72 hours’ notice is required. Parents/carers should not expect a member of staff to be able to see them if they arrive in reception and ask to see a member of staff immediately. In such instances, parents/carers will be politely reminded of the need to make an appointment.
