Contacting Staff
Who to contact
Academic queries
Please contact your child’s subject teacher for academic queries such as your child’s progress or a question about homework. You can find out the name of your child’s teacher by looking at their timetable on ParentFrog or by calling Reception. You can also contact Deputy Headteacher, Mr Penny (wjp@bournside.gloucs.sch.uk).
Pastoral queries
Please contact your child’s tutor for queries relating to behaviour, welfare, and wellbeing, for example a change in home circumstances. You can also contact Deputy Headteacher, Mr Stratford (ms@bournside.gloucs.sch.uk).
Student Support Team
There are a very small number of students for whom the first point of contact should be our Student Support Team if already agreed:
- Years 7-9: Mrs Lloyd
- Years 10-13: Mrs Dixon
How to contact
There are several ways in which you can contact us. Given the size of our school, our preferred method of contact is through email. Email addresses for all of our staff members can be found below. During school holidays, we request that queries are emailed to admin@bournside.gloucs.sch.uk with 'FAO' followed by the member of staff's name in the subject line.
Email
Please send your email directly to one person, copying (cc) in other members of staff if necessary. Please be aware that staff emails are not monitored outside of school hours and you will receive a response within 2 working days.
