We recognise that learning begins at home.

Building good relationships and a partnership in learning between home and school is of upmost importance to us at Much Birch.

We have many ways of communicating with parents and in addition to this, have an open door policy that should you ever need to discuss anything please come into school and have a chat. A brief chat in the mornings to convey any concerns or important information is always welcome. If a longer or more confidential discussion is needed we have many ways to get in contact.

For urgent contact please ring the school office.

Otherwise, drop us an email, ring the school or send a letter in your child's book bag to make an appointment.
