Communication with Staff

At St Bernadette's we believe that parents are a child's first educator and working in partnership is invaluable to supporting your child in their journey through primary school.

General administration queries

If you have a general query or information that must be urgently shared with a member of staff, please contact the school office through:

01895 232 298

There are a variety of ways for our community to speak to members of staff. Below are a few examples and ways you can contact staff.

If you have a concern or a query about your child then the first person to speak to is your child's class teacher. You can speak to the teacher in a variety of ways:

  • Speak to the teacher at the end of the school day on the playground
  • Email your child's class teacher. (Please note that staff have two working days to receive your email and respond) 
  • Contact the office on phone number or email above and ask the member of staff to return your call.

We have a number of dedicated email addresses in school to enable you to contact specific members of staff:

Welfare: welfare@stbernadetteschool.co.uk

Family support: familysupport@stbernadetteschool.co.uk

SEND: send@stbernadetteschool.co.uk

Finance team: finance@stbernadetteschool.co.uk

How do I escalate my queries after speaking to my child's class teacher?
