In order to help with communication between parents and staff, we have listed staff email addresses in this booklet and they can be found on the Parent Portal: https://my.stroud-kes.org.uk/. We would normally expect staff to reply to such messages within two workings days. During school holidays, we would ask you to send emails to the School Office (office@stroud-kes.org.uk) for them to be redirected or answered on behalf of staff who may be away on holiday.
