Parents

Parents play a vital role in the progress of the young people who attend World.

It is important that there is a two-way relationship between parents and World and parents are welcome to contact Martin ([email protected] / 07377404459) if you have any concerns or if you would like to share any information which will help us to support your son.

In return you can expect World to educate and care for your son to the highest level and we will keep you regularly updated with your son’s progress.
