Communication<br />
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________<br />
We aim to keep parents and carers well-informed of our work and developments. Here's how:<br />
Email<br />
We use email rather than paper communication. We try to limit the number of messages we<br />
send out, and relevant messages are sent to everyone who has parental responsibility. If you<br />
do not use email, we can arrange to write or to phone you instead.<br />
Texting<br />
We use a system called Irish Reach to contact those with parental responsibility if their child<br />
is missing from school. If we have a concern, we will phone or text you. We are using a new<br />
system to inform parents if students have not registered in the morning. If your child is not in<br />
school, you may receive a message from this number, 0114 303 4042 registered in Sheffield.<br />
Website<br />
You will find that our website holds lots of important information. The Parent & Student areas<br />
are under Essentials. You can find most information via the search box. Find the website<br />
here.<br />
Our social media outlets:<br />
Facebook<br />
Facebook is a hugely convenient tool for keeping parents up-to-date with important<br />
announcements and information, as well as with our students’ news and successes. Find it<br />
here.<br />
Instagram<br />
Instagram contains most of the same information as Facebook. Important announcements<br />
and reminders are posted on here and on Facebook.<br />
Twitter<br />
We have various Twitter feeds, including for individual subjects. You can follow us here.<br />
Staying in touch<br />
If you need to contact a member of staff, the best starting point is usually email, as they are<br />
often teaching or in meetings when in school. Please allow staff two working days to respond<br />
to a routine query. Staff email addresses comprise their staff code (which can be found on<br />
our website or here and then a common email stem (@king-ed.suffolk.sch.uk). For example,<br />
Mr Hurry (HY) is HY@king-ed.suffolk.sch.uk.<br />
