Complaints

We aim to resolve concerns promptly and fairly. The formal complaints procedure sets out clear stages, timescales and escalation arrangements.

Raising a concern

Where appropriate, concerns should first be raised informally with the relevant member of staff or school leader so that they can be addressed quickly. If the matter is not resolved, the school’s written complaints procedure provides a formal stage and a panel hearing stage.
