Foundation 2 | Fernwood Junior School

Welcome to F2

Parents please find below your child’s teacher’s school email address, we know that many of the children would like to send a message to their teacher or a picture of some of the work they have been doing at home. The teacher will then be able to send a short response.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Please only use your parental email address to send messages

We hope this will help some of the children who are missing school, we are missing the children as well.
