Parents

Welcome to our Parents area.  You will be able to see results of our Parent Surveys, helpful letters and emails that are sent out to our parents/carers and also information about how to add the Grange School mobile app to your device.  This information can be accessed via the side panel on the right handside. 

 

In school, our Family Support Worker, Mrs Sharon Middleton works on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Her role in school is to provide support, advice and information to the families within our school community.  She can help you with any worries that you may have in relation to your child's education, behaviour and wellbeing.  She is also available as someone to talk to if you need it.

Advice and support is confidential although concerns relating to the safeguarding of children will always be dealt with in accordance with the school's Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.
