We view your child’s education as a partnership between the School and parents. We ask parents to support the aims of the School, uphold its reputation, and continue learning at home. Parents are also expected to encourage their child to maintain appropriate standards in punctuality, behaviour, diligence, language, discipline, and dress.

Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader motivates students to read more through engaging quizzes, goal setting, and personalized recommendations. As students increase their reading volume, they develop greater reading stamina, word recognition, and language comprehension skills.
iSAMS – School Information Management System
Our school uses iSAMS as our central School Information Management System (SIMS). iSAMS is a secure, cloud-based platform that allows us to manage and share important information efficiently across the school community.
What is iSAMS?
iSAMS brings together academic, pastoral, attendance, administrative, and communication information in one integrated system. It supports staff in delivering high-quality education while ensuring accurate and up-to-date records for every pupil.
How iSAMS is used in our school
iSAMS supports a wide range of school operations, including:
– Student records – personal details, timetables, and academic history
– Attendance monitoring – daily registers, absence tracking, and attendance reporting
– Assessment and reporting – grades, reports, and progress tracking
– Pastoral care – behaviour and merits.
– Communication – secure access for staff, parents, and students (where applicable)
Access for parents and students
Parents can access relevant information through the iSAMS Parent Portal, providing a clear view of attendance, academic progress, reports, all in one place.
Data security
iSAMS is fully compliant with data protection regulations and uses secure systems to ensure that all personal information is protected and accessed only by authorised users.
If you would like more information or would like your iSAMS credentials, please contact the school office.
