COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE

Academy Context

Since 1 September 2003, Governing Bodies of all maintained schools and maintained nursery schools in England have been required, under Section 29 of the Education Act 2002, to have in place a procedure to deal with complaints relating to the school and to any community facilities or services that the school provides. The law has also required the procedure to be publicised.

Dealing With Complaints – Initial Concerns

We recognise the need to be clear about the difference between a concern and a complaint.  Taking informal concerns seriously at the earliest stage reduces the numbers that develop into formal complaints.

We aim to ensure that concerns are handled, if at all possible, without the need for formal procedures.  Our formal complaints procedure is only necessary if efforts to resolve the concern informally are unsuccessful.  In most cases a class teacher or an individual delivering the service, will receive the first approach.  Our staff development process includes training to help staff resolve issues on the spot, including apologising where necessary.

Dealing With Complaints – Formal Procedures

Our formal procedures are invoked when initial attempts to resolve the issue are unsuccessful and the person raising the concern remains dissatisfied and wishes to take the matter further.

For more information, please read the full text of our Complaints Procedure in the attached document. Alternatively, you may visit the school office where you can obtain a printed copy.

If you are unable to download or print off any information held by this website, please contact the school office who will provide a hard copy of the relevant page(s) to parents free of charge.

We try to ensure the money we receive to run the school is spent wisely and we prioritise teaching and learning. Saving money by providing electronic information is a major factor in being able to deliver affordable services. We therefore would ask you to consider the cost of printing information for the school and the effect on the environment.

Cookie Policy

We use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling our website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).
 
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience of the website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site – for example, when you enter your login details and move to another page it won’t recognise you and it won’t be able to keep you logged in.

Some websites will also use cookies to enable them to target their advertising or marketing messages based for example, on your location and/or browsing habits. We do not do this.
 
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’). 
 

What is in a cookie?

 
A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server and only that server will be able to retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers. It allows a website to remember things like your preferences or what’s in your shopping basket.
 

What to do if you don’t want cookies to be set

 
Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their computer or mobile device a bit intrusive, particularly when this information is stored and used by a third party without them knowing. Although this is generally quite harmless you may not, for example, want to see advertising that has been targeted to your interests. If you prefer, it is possible to block some or all cookies, or even to delete cookies that have already been set; but you need to be aware that you might lose some functions of that website. 
 

If you don’t want to receive cookies, you can modify your browser so that it notifies you when cookies are sent to it or you can refuse cookies altogether. You can also delete cookies that have already been set. If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies which are set on your device then you can do this through your browser settings; the Help function within your browser should tell you how. Alternatively, you may wish to visit www.aboutcookies.org, which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of desktop browsers.
