    could you help me on another matter so i dont make a hash of this too!!!

    my child goes to nursery who do a drop off to the school for me as part of the report they give you they also list attendances/times late etc.
    now he has been late to school on 3 occasions the nursery havent mentioned it to me at all. i only found out due to the report. he did get there before registration but was marked as late.

    i was thinking that i should just mention it quite casually ad say that thy need to try and get there a little earlier as hes been late. theres only a few weeks left now anyway.


    Three lates out of a whole year is not a major issue. Are they going to be doing drop offs again next year too?

    If not, I wouldn't waste your breath.

    I can top the stories !!!!!

    My neighbour came to me in a state -The week before social services had knocked on her door looking for the vicar who lived opposite-she told them they had the wrong house number and pointed them to the church opposite...........and thought no more of it. Then a letter arrived unsealed and the flap half open and just the address no name so she looked to see who it was for. It was a social services report about the vicar's 7 year old son and an incident at school where he had made inappropriate remarks of a sexual nature to a child in his class (Had told her he was going to rape her ) !!!!

    Clearly after their visit Social Services hadn't updated their records with the correct address and my neighbour was horrified -and didn't know what to do thinking she'd be in trouble.

    I took the letter from her -rang social services -told them exactly what I thought of their ideas of confidentiality-and within half an hour a member of staff came to collect the letter.

    Now THAT's what I call a breech of confidentiality !

    Hi

    I dont even know if i am posting in the right place.Apologies if not.

    I received my child reception year results and report.The report i have, however the results i have are for another child and my childs are with them.

    they are marked on 9 themes and then an overall score given. if a certain amount is not achieved they dont proceed onto the national curriculum.

    I am really angry about this i rang the school and was told they couldnt do anthing till monday i couldnt even get his result.

    i just want to know if my reaction is understandable how would you react and what action if any you would take? what action can be taken?

    i left it till today to email the school so that i would have a clearer head.

    A colleage of mine who son had done well seems to think its no big deal whereas another thoughtit was a huge breach of dpa/confidentiality.

    Before worrying about this, maybe you could return to school and do a basic literacy course? Your punctuation and grammar leaves a lot to be desired!

    I've been given another child's information rather than my DDs recently by school. I wasn't amused, as it was a whole page of personal information, e.g. health information, religion, allergies, etc.

    I contacted the school and told them, they didn't seem particularly bothered and said that no-one else had complained so it much have been a 'glitch'. I did consider taking it further, e.g. DPA but figured it wasn't worth the stress in the end. I certainly wouldn't apologise for making a fuss though, they should apologise for failing in their basic duty of care.

    No one is saying the school should not apologise.

    However, there is a world of difference between making them aware of what happened and "making a fuss".

    Politely highlighting an error will result in the same outcome (an apology) so is there really anything to be gained in making a fuss? Other than getting yourself labeled as a difficult parent that is.
