EMTAS phone lines (Term time only)
Language phone lines for parents/carers, Hampshire maintained schools and SLA-supported academies
Phone lines may only be used to support communication with a child where an adult is present with the child for the duration of the phone call.
Please ring us on our help lines below for information and support with home-school communication or if you have any questions relating to your child's education or well-being.
All our assistants speak good English so if you can use even a little English you can call at any of the times listed below.
If you need an interpreter for any other language, phone EMTAS on 03707 794222 or email [email protected] with your contact details and the language you speak. We will do our best to help you.
