Responding to Concerns

Catholic schools aim to be places where love is evident at all times. Staff are committed to pastoral care for children in every way. Nevertheless, as in any organisation, misunderstandings can occur and mistakes can be made which might lead to a concern on behalf of a parent. Should you have such a concern you are invited to approach the class teacher to discuss the matter informally. We are committed to responding to a concern as quickly and sensitively as possible in order to resolve the concern promptly. If parents or carers feel this is not achieving a resolution they are invited to make an appointment with the headteacher. Parents are asked to follow our Complaints Procedure.

Should a parent remain dissatisfied they may contact the Diocese and Hampshire Local Authority as follows:
