Communication Flowchart
Recommended Procedure for Parents
We know that when parents have a concern that relates to their child at school, whether it’s pastoral, curriculum or staffing in nature, they often feel the best way forward is to ask to see the head or deputy heads. In our experience many of these concerns can often be most quickly resolved by talking first to the class teacher as they know your children best.
