Bespoke advice, guidance and support, whenever required, for parents.
Supporting You Through the Education Journey
How much homework should my son be getting each night?
Could you write a letter for me to the Head of Maths because I want my son's set changed?
What happens if I want to take my daughter out of school during term time?
Please help with Sixth Form Choices. What are T-Levels and are they easier than A-Levels?
The school has confiscated my son's mobile 'phone for a week. Can they legally do that?
My daughter's fallen behind. What should I do?
How much should school music lessons cost from a peripatetic teacher?
There is no football team for girls at my child's school. Can I challenge under the Equality Act?
My service does, of course, provide for unexpected emergencies where serious guidance and care is required.
Example 1 - Allegation of cheating
I recently provided tailored and detailed advice where a boy was accused of cheating in a GCSE examination by having some subject information written on his arm. With some thorough investigation and with a carefully crafted letter to the school, no further action was taken and his GCSEs were saved. (If a candidate is reported to the Exam Board as having cheated in just one examination, results of all examinations can be cancelled.)
Example 2 - Headteacher preparing to permanently exclude a child
Permanent Exclusion of their child is a very serious matter and one a parent is unlikely to have faced before. As a school leader who has taken responsibility for excluding children, I am very familiar with what is and is not acceptable ethically and within the law. Now I advise parents on disciplinary matters and have actively helped where permanent exclusion has been indicated in instances such as theft, fighting and 'persistent disruptive behaviour'.
However, it's not always about advice. One parent whose partner has an extremely demanding time-hungry job, simply calls to share and update on their daughter's schooling and to ask me for my guidance about her progress.
From practical matters, to a listening ear, 11to18 is here to help you and your child.
