Petition to carry out a review of Senior Management of the Hayling College

Thank you for sharing the information regarding the petition you have carried out.

Having considered the matters it refers to it is clear that the issues you raise are specifically in relation to the school and their staff and are therefore outside of the jurisdiction of the County Council. These are matters that the petitioners will need to address with the school using their complaints’ procedure. A copy of the school’s complaints process can be requested from the school or may be found on the school’s website.

Once you have exhausted the school’s complaints procedure, if you feel that the school has acted unreasonably or not followed the correct procedures in relation to your complaint, you may wish to write to the Department for Education (DfE). Information about this can be found on the DfE website.

We’re sorry that the concerns you have raised sit outside the remit of the Children’s Services, which means that we can be of no further assistance with these matters, however we hope you find the information we have provided useful in assisting you to progress your concerns further.

Yours sincerely

Natalie Smith
Assistant Director - Education and Inclusion
