Parents

Parent's Information Page

We welcome parents and carers into Sheepscombe School believing that parents, staff and governors form a partnership in the education of your children.

There are many opportunities for parents to become involved in the life of the school and to gain a greater understanding of its work. Parents’ time and expertise can be used in many ways in school and is greatly valued.
