Parent Contact - School Communication System

We also communicate with parents via text message and email.  Please ensure that you provide us with your current contact details and let the school office know of any changes.

We are not running Stay and Play currently, however we leave this information here below to show you historically how committed we are to support the development of pre-school children with additional needs.

Remember Stay and Play at The Shrubberies School

No referral was necessary, any parent from any establishment who had a pre-school child with additional needs could make a request to access Stay and Play.  Stay and Play was offered every Thursday morning, from 9.30am to 11.30am. To support and promote the all-round development of pre-school children with additional needs through fun activities.
