They may also ask that any existing directive may be altered or withdrawn.In the first instance, parents should discuss such a request with the Headteacher in an attempt to avoid any exception, but, should this fail, then parents should put their request, together with their reasons for such a request, in writing to the Headteacher.
The Headteacher will respond to any such request within a month.

As you consider the choice of school for your child we would like to use this opportunity to explain the role of Parent Governors within our school.Parent Governors are elected by parents of the school for a 4 year term of office. We are here to represent the views, aims and ambitions of parents in relation to their child's education and the school and to relay this information back to the Governing Body.
In common with the rest of the Governors our function is to help formulate and monitor overall policy within the school. Parents who feel they have concerns over the education of their own child should in the first instance raise the matter with the child?s teacher or the Headteacher. Should this fail to satisfy the concern then we are available to give advice and assistance.
We attempt to attend as many school functions as possible in order to make ourselves available to parents. Should you wish to have discussion in confidence please do not hesitate to contact us on the numbers at the beginning of the Prospectus.
Minutes of the Governors? Meeting are available for parents to read and arrangements can be made to see them by contacting the school. There is an Annual General Meeting of the Governing Body to which all parents are invited. This is an ideal opportunity for parents to raise issues regarding the running of the school and for full discussions to take place.
Finally we would like to say that we are proud to serve on the Governing Body of our school and take very seriously the responsibility with which we have been entrusted. Back to top
