The Summer Term has arrived!
Let's help our children and each other as we begin our new term in 2022 by using resources, information and links below
If you have a particular concern or change with your child or within your family that you would like to make us aware of or to talk through, you can contact myself either by telephone or email
Telephone: 02392 694412 Email: admin@gatcombepark.portsmouth.sch.uk
Leave your name, your child's name and their class, asking for a telephone appointment, and I will contact you.
This way you can talk confidentially with myself (Mrs Laurence - Pastoral Lead).
(Please be mindful that I will not be able to return any emails during the holidays)
