Complaints, Comments and Suggestions Procedure
We hope that you will be completely satisfied with your child’s education and we encourage feedback on our services from parents, carers and pupils. We are, therefore, interested in feedback of all kinds, whether it be compliments, suggestions or complaints.
If you wish to register a comment of any type about our school you may do this by writing, e-mailing, telephoning or making an appointment to see a member of staff. All feedback is welcome and helps us provide the best service possible.
If, in particular, you have a complaint about the school, please let us know. It is better that these things are shared openly and resolved fairly, rather than being allowed to damage the relationship between the family and the school. There will be no negative consequences arising from making a complaint and we shall deal with the issue as confidentially as possible.
There are some things which you should take note of in relation to making a complaint:
- Please make any complaints initially to the Head Teacher. This makes sure that the school knows what is going on and has an opportunity to respond and resolve the issue.
- We shall try to respond as quickly as possible, but often issues are complex and we need time to investigate.
- If you are still unhappy with the service or with our response then you will have the right to take the matter further and contact Advice and Complaints Service (Education) [ 0131 469 3233]
- If you are still unhappy after the further investigation and reply you may take the matter up with the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman, our reply will include the contact details.
