Parents receive priority attention in an open and friendly environment that promotes open communication between school, parents and students.
Positive and effective interaction between school and home is important to a child’s development and education. We listen to parents, actively inviting them to share their views with us, ensuring that they receive prompt feedback in an appropriate form.
As a GEMS school we provide ourselves on our high standards of customer service and it is expected that all parents will be treated with courtesy, respect and professionalism at all times.
