advice for parents
Nurture, Aspire, Achieve
We pride ourselves on the importance we place on nurturing our children. We believe that children learn best when they are happy, cared for, and when their social and emotional and mental well being is at the heart of everything.
However, we understand that from time to time, children and parents may have concerns or worries that need addressing. Similarly, you may wish to compliment school on something we have, or are doing well.
Please contact: info@gildersomeprimary.co.uk and we will direct your email to the right person to help.
This may be:
- Your child's class teacher
- A phase leader (Mrs Morris, Miss Roclawski or Mr Reid)
- The Learning Mentor (Mr Wright),
- A member of the Leadership Team (Mrs Hoyle, Mrs Longley or Ms Ilott)
If you have a preference, please name the relevant person in your email. Alternatively, you could: call the office and ask to speak to a member of staff or speak to your child's teacher in person. We will always be happy to help in any way we can.
