Telephone

The normal point of contact is your child’s Advisor. Due to work commitments of teachers it is not always possible to respond to parents within a 24 hour period. However, we try and make every effort to do so. Parents are able to leave messages using the voicemail service. We will ensure all communications will be passed to the relevant person for their attention.

Please try and use email when ever possible.
Normal hours for telephoning are from 8-00am to 5-30pm Monday to Wednesday and from 8-00am to 4-30pm Thursday and Friday. Callers are asked to note that only a limited service operates during the holiday periods.  Please use the voicemail service and the relevant person will contact you.

PARENTAL CONSULTATIONS and BRIEFINGS
Parents are invited, at least once a year, to a consultation with their child’s teachers where progress is discussed and concerns are shared. The college also holds parental briefings every year to provide information for parents to support their child’s learning. The dates of these are published in the college calendar.

VISITING
Parents who wish to discuss matters of importance with staff should arrange an appointment.  Please be aware if you arrive without an appointment you may have to wait for a considerable period of time and even then you may not see the preferred member of staff.

All visitors should report to Reception where they will be ‘booked in’ and given a visitor’s badge. This is an important part of our efforts to ensure the security and safety of all students and staff.

1. Through a confidential questionnaire available to all parents who attend parental consultations. Each questionnaire is read personally by the Head of School.
2. Through sending an email to admin@hughchristie.kent.sch.uk . Please mark the subject of your email Feedback. These will be forwarded to the Head of School.
