Communication for parents
Home/School Communication
Working together to support our children to achieve their ambitions and have a positive educational experience is incredibly important to us at Meridian High School. We receive many wonderful comments and supportive feedback on how we can do better from our parents and carers which we are incredibly grateful for. Meridian is the only “good” secondary school serving our community and, whilst we may not always get it right, we are very proud of the positive relationships we have with our parents and carers.

Here is a reminder of our communication strategy and procedures so that we can effectively respond and support you as parents and carers.
Each year group has a dedicated team of people you can contact in the first instance. Our policy is that we will respond within working hours within two working days of the date of the communication received. The teams and contact email addresses are listed below for your reference.
As a parent or carer your first port of call should always be your childs tutor, then their PWL and then the SLT year lead. Please see all email addresses below.

Where possible, please contact your child’s Tutor first. If your concern is more specific, you may contact the relevant member of the year-group team directly. If you are unsure who to contact, the school office will make sure your message reaches the right person.
We have a very clear communication process in place so that we are able to best support you. Unfortunately, we are unable to miss stages of our policy and must follow the structure in place. We always aim to resolve any concerns at stage 1 of our process however if you wish to escalate a concern to stage 2 you do need to submit the relevant paperwork outlining the cause for concern and the resolution you are seeking before a meeting will be arranged.
We aim to acknowledge and respond to all parent and carer communications within 48 working hours. More complex enquiries may take longer to resolve, but we will keep you informed of our progress.
Similarly, we love to receive your positive comments and we share these with our staff who are working relentlessly to ensure our children are receiving the best education and support we can provide.
