COMPLAINTS/CONCERN PROCEDURE
We are committed to responding to such contacts efficiently, sensitively, quickly and fairly. We see complaints as an opportunity to reduce or eliminate friction between home and school, and the chance of deepening the existing relationship of trust and co-operation.
A complaint covers a contact expressing concern over a relatively minor everyday incident, through to a formal written complaint. The principles for managing and resolving the concern are independent of the nature and seriousness of the complaint.
The Proprietors will deal with any Administration, Health and Safety concerns, or complaints about actions of the Headteacher or members of staff.
General Principles for Handling Complaints/Concerns
INITIAL CONTACT
If parents have any concerns or complaints they should initially contact the school office by email, telephone or in person, giving brief details of their concern/complaint.
The school will normally decide the level at which the complaint is to be dealt with within one working day of receipt. Parents will be advised on the level at which the concern/complaint is to be handled.
All complaints will be handled sensitively, even-handedly and, where necessary, confidentially.
Complainants are assured that their child will in no way be disadvantaged or victimised because of a complaint.
At all times the aim should be to resolve the complaint amicably.
All conversations and meetings should be recorded as accurately as possible.
Parents can request a full copy of the school’s Concern/Complaint procedure.
Procedure Stages
Stage 1 - Informal meeting with Class/Subject teacher.
Stage 2 – Complainant meets with the Senior Master/Senior Mistress
Stage 3 – Complainant meets with the Headteacher -
Stage 4 - Formal Complaint to Proprietors

If parents are still unhappy with the outcome of the Proprietors report, a formal hearing will be arranged before a panel of three people, one of whom will be independent of the management and running of the school. The hearing will take place as soon as is practicable and usually within 3 weeks. The panel may require further information on the complaint and copies of information obtained will be provided to all parties not later than one week before the hearing.
