GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) – We will not share your information with any other organisation and will only contact you for purposes of information or with regards to your child

We ask that every student completes a 'Personal Information' form, which details general contact info and any medical, or other observations you feel we need to be made aware of.

We are very fortunate to have 'Clued Up Coaching' as a support to our organisation. Qualified life coaches are contactable if students or their families need support with the everyday stresses of adolescence, school exams, and coping with life post-pandemic.
