Multiple copies of the new form have been sent out, and need to be returned as soon as possible. This form is valid for your child's entire schooling at Tenison Woods College and will therefore not need to be completed each year.
If you have lost you form, you can download it here. Please return it to your child's homegroup teacher or to the Front Office.
