Complaints

The School has long prided itself on the quality of the teaching and pastoral care provided to its pupils.  The School's aims are concerned with meeting the needs of the pupils, parents and other stakeholders. Constant communication and feedback are crucial in monitoring standards and improving provision. Those who have concerns or complaints should feel these can be voiced and that they will be taken seriously. There is a difference between a concern and a complaint: concerns may be aired less formally, and the process of discussion may resolve the issue. A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction that requires a response from the school - either to explain its position or to put right what may be wrong.

We will seek to resolve complaints by informal means wherever possible. A complaint is likely to arise when there are issues of physical or emotional well-being and security at stake, or when the school's stated aims or values are being ignored. A breach of the law will always constitute a complaint. If parents do have a complaint, they can expect it to be treated by the School in accordance with this procedure. Investigations will be thorough, fair and completed in a reasonable time-frame. The complainant may not be entitled to all information regarding the investigation, but will be kept informed of the process and of the decisions reached.

Informal resolution of complaints and concerns notwithstanding, the following should be noted:

  • Pupils and staff are not penalised for making a complaint in good faith. The school welcomes and is open to feedback on the services that it provides.
  • Complaints will be resolved either to the complainant’s satisfaction, or with an otherwise appropriate outcome which balances the rights and duties of pupils.

Our Complaints Procedure provides for formal complaints if it is not possible to resolve the matter informally.  A copy of our Complaints Procedure can be downloaded from our websites (see above) or obtained from the School Office.

If any parent wishes to contact the Chairman direct rather than through the school they can do so by telephoning him on 07515 863042

 

Henry Winkler visits Moon Hall October 2011 to great reception from pupils

Following an inspirational talk by Henry Winkler to well over 100 pupils we received the following expression of thanks from Waterstones

"Thank you so much for being such welcoming hosts for today. We hugely enjoyed our time at the school and ...were inspired and impressed by your students. It was so refreshing and exciting to meet pupils who are genuinely engaged with books and fiction and who would come in to school during their holidays for the chance to meet an author. They are an absolute credit to the school and we will be singing your praises far and wide! The sales completely took us by surprise - I'm really sorry we didn't have more books with us. ..even if we had been in a position to get more I don't think I'd have even come close to bringing the 220 that we sold, it's so unheard of. "
