Notes for schools
- Ensure Harrow Early Years has your preferred email address. This will ensure providers send their children’s transition documents correctly. We urge against using a generic school address to avoid issues with email deletion.
- You cannot forward encrypted emails. This is because the new recipient is not authorised to view the email from the sender. If you wish to share email with a school colleague, download the document locally. Then send it on your school email system e.g. LGFL or other.
