How do I arrange a meeting with a staff member?
If you would like a meeting with a member of staff please either email, or call us and we will be able to support in booking this meeting in for you. We understand that, sometimes, face to face meetings will be required between staff and parents/carers. However, we respectfully request that these are pre-arranged and booked in with the relevant staff, and that parents/carers do not just arrive at Somerset Studio School and expect staff to be available for a meeting - it is very unlikely that the member of staff you wish to see will be available, without prior liaison.
If you have any further questions, please contact us.
