# Key Information for all parents

At Brownedge St Mary's, we strive to support every part of our community: pupils, staff, parents and the local community. We also recognise how instrumental parents are to the success of their child at school and endeavour to do all that we can to ensure parents feel empowered to support their child on their journey to success.

This area of the website has various pages of information to support parents and carers ranging from attendance and pastoral support to newsletters, key dates and communication and payment systems. If you feel as though you have not found the information you require, we encourage you to contact school so we can help you resolve your query. Below is a list of key contacts and their email addresses that you may want to contact regarding your query, however for all general parental enquiries please call 01772 339813.
