Term dates
Please contact the school office for approved term dates, training days and closures.
Report an absence
Please tell the school office promptly if your child will be absent, including the reason and expected return. Use the published absence-reporting contact rather than the general referral form. If you need support with attendance, we will work with you and the professionals involved.
Contact the school office on 07414 197687 or office@lifechangingeducation.uk.
Meals and allergies
Please tell the school office about your child’s dietary needs and any allergies before they start, and whenever anything changes.
Medicines
Please tell the school office if your child needs medicine in school. Our policy sets out how to give consent and hand medicines over safely.
Transport
Please contact the school office about transport arrangements, and about any changes to them.
Uniform
Read our approach to uniform. If you need help with uniform, please ask the school office.
English as an additional language and interpreting
We assess English-language proficiency separately from SEND and subject knowledge. We use accessible explanations, vocabulary support, visuals and structured talk, and arrange interpreting or translated information where needed. English as an additional language alone is not treated as SEND.
For language support, contact the school office on 07414 197687 or office@lifechangingeducation.uk.
