Complaints

In accordance with Section 23 of the 1988 Education Reform Act, the governing Body has adopted a procedure to deal with complaints about the curriculum. Most complaints are settled quickly and informally at school level. The complaints procedure exists for those parents who also wish to pursue a complaint through more formal channels. A copy of the complaints procedure is available from the school or directly from public Libraries and public Information Offices.
