How do I make a complaint?
If you wish to make a complaint, you should do so in accordance with our Trust Complaint Policy.
The procedure allows parents, carers or anyone else to raise a concern or complaint relating to the academy or Co-op Academies Trust.
The procedure is divided into three stages:
- Stage One (The Informal Stage) you should speak to a staff member in the academy to see if they can resolve the issue.
- Stage Two (The Formal Stage) is the point at which you should put the complaint in writing to the Headteacher or another senior member of staff. Where the complaint is against the Headteacher, you should write to the Chair of the Academy Community Council at our school address. Address the letter or email to ‘Chair of the Academy Community Council’.
- Stage Three (Formal Resolution) is the final stage. It involves a hearing before a panel including members of the Trust's Resolutions Team and an independent person who will review the complaint in its entirety.
