Summary of Parents Education
Rights
1) You are allowed to say which state school you want your child to go to. 2) You may teach your children at home. You don't have to follow the National Curriculum but you must make sure your child is educated suitably for their age and for any special educational needs they may have. 3) You have the right to vote for school boards to represent you. You can also stand for election as a parent member. 4) If you are not happy about your child's school or education and want to make a complaint, you should get a copy of the school's complaints procedure (many schools have one) and follow the procedure on it as a first step. If the school doesn't have a complaints procedure, you can complain to a senior teacher or head teacher. If they do not solve your problem, you could complain to the governing body of the school. |
