Social Media

Please read this important statement from North Yorkshire County Council:

Parents of children in North Yorkshire schools are increasingly using social networking sites such as Facebook to talk to their friends.  Sometimes parents have used these sites to criticise or make inappropriate comments about schools or even individual teachers.  Making defamatory comments on the internet has exactly the same serious legal consequences as if they are made directly to someone else.  Legal action could be taken against the person who has made the online comment.  Similarly threats of violence can lead to criminal proceedings under the Malicious Communications Act 1988.

If you have any concerns about anything which happens in school please speak to your child’s class teacher or the Headteacher who will do their best to resolve things.  If you are still unhappy we have a complaints procedure which will ensure that your concerns are investigated thoroughly and appropriate action taken.
