Home School Communication 

A strong home school partnership is vitally important to the success of a school. To support this, it is important that you are aware of the ways that you as parents/carers can contact a member of staff in school.

Email for non-urgent matters

Parents/carers should always email the school ([email protected]), or the appropriate member of staff, about a non-urgent matter. Please note that your child’s Form Tutor should be your first point of contact for any general concerns you may have. Someone will make contact within 2 working days to acknowledge receipt and aim to respond in full within 5 working days. All staff member email addresses can be found on our school website here Harrytown Catholic High School.

Urgent issues

If issues are urgent, parents/carers can contact the school office (0161 4305277). Urgent issues might include things like:

· Family emergencies
· Safeguarding and welfare issues
The relevant member of staff will then review the information shared with the school office, again making contact within two working days or sooner depending upon the triage of urgency.

Meetings

If a parent/carer would like to schedule a meeting with a member of staff, please email the appropriate email address, or call the school office for support in making an appointment. We try to schedule meetings within five working days of the request.

We understand that at times you may wish to visit the school and speak to a member of staff immediately, however in a busy school setting this is incredibly difficult, and we therefore ask that you do not attend the school unless you have a previously arranged appointment.

Thank you for your support in this matter.
