Time Frames

A member of staff will contact parents on the same day of specific First Aid incidents and on the same day of specific classroom concerns

Staff will respond to emails and phone calls within 2 working days

If there is request for a meeting, one will be arranged with 5 working days

What to do if you feel that your concern has not been addressed?

In the first instance, please contact the office to arrange an appointment with the Deputy Headteacher.

Should you feel that speaking to the Deputy Headteacher has not addressed the concern then please make an appointment with the Headteacher.

If speaking to the Headteacher has not resolved your concern or you are dissatisfied with the way in which it was dealt with then please refer to our Complaints Policy.

This can be found on our policies page.

It is important to us that you feel that you are listened to and that you feel comfortable raising concerns so that the correct member of staff can discuss this further with you and help solve any issues.

We do also welcome positive feedback, all of us appreciate hearing that we are doing a good job educating or supporting our pupils in school. That is why we are all here!
