Communicating with our parents and carers is such an essential and important part of what we do. It is vital that all of the up-to-date information about our activities, newsletters, calendars, events and school news is relayed in a timely manner to our parents and carers. It is something that really matters to us.
Please see the communication tools we use at our school to enable the smooth and safe transference of information between school and home.
If you have any issues accessing these tools please contact the School Office.

Burton Buzz

The diary dates section is regularly updated. By sending one newsletter out every other week it saves the need for us to be sending lots of letters out individually.
Twitter and Facebook
Snippets of information and updates can be found here. If you have any urgent questions or messages, please do not message via social media as these are not monitored—please telephone the school office.
