Communication Pathways

Ensuring good two-way communication between our families and school is paramount to securing and developing our relationships, supporting our children and engaging our families into the whole life at school.

Below are different communication pathways that you can use at Portfields. This list is not exhaustive, but can be a guide to support the best pathway:
