Getting in Touch
If you have any questions or concerns, I’m your first point of contact. You can speak to me directly, call the school office, or email me at george.hall@pippins.slough.sch.uk.
I’m really looking forward to working with you and your child this year. Year 5 is a big step up, but we’ll be tackling it with energy, creativity and lots of support. I can’t wait to see what your children achieve!
Warm regards,
Mr Hall :)
