Parents are always welcome to come and see the school at work. Please contact the school office for an appointment. In general, the first point of contact for issues concerning individual students is their tutor. Parents can request an interim progress report, at any time, via the tutor. The Senior Leadership Team, Year Co-ordinators and Heads of Department are always ready to meet parents to discuss any concerns or queries. (The formal process for making complaints is described later in this prospectus).
ADMISSIONS
The school's current admissions policy is operated by the Children & Young People's Services Directorate, which handles school admissions for all community and controlled schools within Shropshire. Full details of the policy, together with information about the arrangements for admission, are set out in the 'Parents' Guide to Education in Shropshire'. Copies can be inspected at the school office and local libraries. They are available on request from the Admissions Team, Education Services Directorate, Shirehall, Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, SY2 6ND or via an on-line link from Shropshire County Council's website. Any specific requests for information on admissions should be directed to the Admission Team on: 01743 254364 or 254459.

- Residence in catchment area
