Complaints Procedure
[PLACEHOLDER: Complaints procedure.]
Introduction
We aim to resolve any concerns or complaints quickly and informally. We take all feedback seriously and use it to improve our school.
Stage 1 — Informal
In the first instance, please speak to your child’s class teacher or the school office. Most concerns can be resolved at this stage.
Stage 2 — Formal complaint to the Headteacher
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of Stage 1, you may make a formal complaint in writing to the Headteacher.
[PLACEHOLDER: Detail the process, timescales, and expected outcomes for Stage 2.]
Stage 3 — Complaint to the governing body
If you remain dissatisfied after Stage 2, you may escalate your complaint to the governing body.
[PLACEHOLDER: Detail the process for escalating to the governing body, including who to write to and what happens next.]
Stage 4 — Escalation to the Local Authority or DfE
[PLACEHOLDER: Set out what options are available if a complaint cannot be resolved by the school. Include reference to the School Complaints Unit at the DfE for maintained schools.]
