It cannot be emphasised too strongly that in every aspect of the school’s relations with its pupils, success depends very largely on co-operation with parents. No school can hope to achieve its objectives unless both parents and teachers are working together to a common end, including such matters as homework, discipline and good manners.

The school operates an ‘open door’ policy. This means that parents are encouraged to contact the school should they wish to discuss their child’s progress at any time during the year. This provides a supplement to the regular news, information letters, the half-termly written effort grades, written progress reports and parent/teacher evenings.

The school is regularly visited by local Community Health Officers who carry out hearing, vision and weight checks, as well as general medicals. In the final years of your child's education they have access to various careers networks in Rochdale and Manchester.
