Up-to-date Mobile Numbers We are continuing to use our text messaging service and in some cases, instead of sending letters out. Therefore it is extremely important that you ensure you keep school up-to-date with any change in mobile phone numbers.
If you have not received any texts from school, please inform school to check that we have the right mobile numbers.
