Communication
For all communication we use 'Weduc' which you can access online or via an app.
This app gives us the opportunity to get all important information directly to you almost instantly. All parents and carers are encouraged to enrol on to this as it will become our main way of communicating and will creates a positive relationship between us and our families.
You can also contact us directly too! This will give you the confidence in knowing anything you wish to get to us is received and actioned straight away.
The app is also a fun platform for us to share student success and events as well as an up to date calendar for you to access from your phone!

Zones of Regulation
'Zones of Regulation' is a visual system we use at Ellesmere to support students to understand how they are feeling and how to self regulate. Students identify which colour zone they are in and what they need to do to move into the green zone where they are ready to listen and learn.
