Here at West Midlands Education & Skills we understand that parents and guardians want to help as much as possible with the learner’s education. We have put together a list of useful sites and tips to support the learners.
The school has a wide range of people available to help parents and carers with any issues they may have.
• Individual Tutors who are the first point of contact for all routine issues and concerns.
• Heads of department for Specialist Provision
• Chair of Governors for issues that are not resolved satisfactorily after all other channels have been explored.
