Reception Services & Visiting the School

We are receiving an unusually high number of items being dropped of at Reception, as well as messages left by phone or email with the expectation of delivery to students throughout the school day. It is a standard policy that Reception is unable to accommodate these requests throughout the academic year. Reception supports over 1500 students on school site, in addition to nearly 200 members of staff who are currently being deployed throughout school site to support the movement of all pupils in their year group bubbles. Therefore, we would like to remind parents and carers of the following procedures:

Parents/Carers must have an appointment to visit school site, wear a mask when entering school site & register at reception - please note that there are currently no toilet facilities for visitors at this time
Items will not be accepted in reception - all staff are participating in the movement of all pupils and are not available to act as couriers; additionally we are making every attempt to limit the unnecessary handling of equipment and resources (this includes forgotten prep work, equipment and food - students can purchase food at the School Cafe using ParentPay)
We cannot guarantee the delivery of urgent messages - we cannot guarantee that urgent messages will reach the students in time and we do not have staff available to deliver messages directly to classrooms - we advise that you email your child's tutor teacher or email office@twyford.ealing.sch.uk and we will forward the message onto the relevant staff

We appreciate your support in helping to ensure the safety of pupils and staff on site.

Please read: A letter to Parents and Carers from Judith Finlay, Executive Director for Children, Adults & Public Health, Ealing
