If a child is unhappy we encourage them to speak out about it by:
Talking to a friend
Raising an issue in circle time
Talking to any member of staff
Talking to a parent/ carer who can relay worries to us
Talking to any class teacher
Writing a note to any trusted adult who can then investigate.
Speaking to a middle or senior leader

Firstly, please speak to the class teacher or any member of the Year 1 team – we are here to help!
If it has not been resolved the next step is the Phase Leader – Mrs Hall (Year 2 Seals)
Then, if it still hasn’t been resolved the next step is one of the Senior Leadership Team. Mrs Chadda is based as KS1 senior support.
