Communication
As a school we seek to maintain an open and honest dialogue with parents and local community and we seek to be accessible and responsive to any enquiry which comes in.
In order to communicate effectively with all stakeholders, we operate with the following means of communication:
School Website
Our school website is overseen by the Headteacher and regular updates on school events and processes mean that it is kept up-to-date and in line with DfE expectations.
School Twitter
Our school Twitter account (@friaryschool) is again overseen by the Headteacher and features regular posts which are seen by almost 2,000 followers and related impressions.
School Facebook

School Instagram
Our school Instagram account (@friaryschool) is again overseen by the Headteacher and features regular posts which are seen by almost 1,500 followers.
EduLink
Our school uses EduLink to communicate all messages with parents and every parent has their own personalised log-in. This app also provides details on students’ learning, attendance, behaviour, etc.
