We are very keen to ensure that as a school we are in regular communication with all parents and other stakeholders in our school. There are a number of ways that you can contact the school as outlined below.
The first port of call for any child should be the classteacher who will be around at the start and end of most days for a quick chat or to schedule a meeting for a longer discussion. Communication with the class teacher can be by letter or email as described below.
If you have done this and are still concerned about an issue or feel that it has not been dealt with please contact our Senior Leadership Team : Mr Laing (Deputy Headteacher) or Mr Samuel (Headteacher).
The school office are able to deal with matters arising during the school day or relating to non-class based issues such as clubs, lunches etc.
In the event that you are very concerned about something taking place in school please contact the Chair of Governors, Mrs Sarah Asher, who can be contacted either through the school office or by email to chair@walton-on-the-hill.surrey.sch.uk.
We are part of Surrey County Council and below is the approved complaints procedure.
E-mail Communication
E-mail is a great method of keeping in touch and sharing information. If you would like to email the school please use the office e-mail address which is info@walton-on-the-hill.surrey.sch.uk. We will then pass the message on to the relevant member of staff.
I am always happy to receive information from parents via e-mail: head@walton-on-the-hill.surrey.sch.uk.
Class Dojo
Class Dojo is a school communication platform that connects teachers, students, and families, bringing them closer together. This is done in two ways. One, by sharing what’s being learned in the classroom with home through portfolios, photos, videos, and messages. And, two, by helping students build social-emotional skills through in-classroom feedback and engaging activities. These relationships require trust, which is why we’ve made sure ClassDojo is a safe and private environment for teachers, parents, and students.
The app notifies parents whenever they receive a new private message, a new Class Story
post is added or if their child has posted to their Student Story. You can also enter multiple parent codes to your account so you can connect with all of your children’s classes.
ClassDojo is GDPR compliant and ensures all of your child’s information is kept safe. Only they, their teachers, and you as their parents can see their information.
Please speak to your child's teacher if you would like a log-in for this service.
