To: Drayton Green Primary School - Chair of Governors and the Governing Body

Consultation regarding the future of Drayton Green Primary School

The school community would like the Governing Body to hold an information meeting before the end of the academic year so that we can understand the current situation regarding potential academy status of Drayton Green Primary School. We would like to hear about your concerns, what investigations are taking place and what outcomes you hope to achieve.  The school community need reassurance that their concerns matter and that the Governing Body will listen to them.  

We also ask that this communication is recognised as a formal complaint for allowing the situation to reach a point where our children are now being denied schooling.

Why is this important?

As parents/carers of children at Drayton Green Primary School we are writing to you to express our dismay and concern over the forthcoming strike action on 20/21 June and potential further dates.

Whilst we appreciate the complexities of the situation and the difficulties both sides face, we don't understand why it appears that the governors are not communicating with the school community.  

The school community would like the Governing Body to hold an information meeting before the end of the academic year so that we can understand your concerns, what investigations are taking place and what outcomes you hope to achieve.  The school community need reassurance that their concerns matter and that the Governing Body will listen to them.  By not sharing any information to date, many are making the assumption that there is nothing to discuss as decisions regarding academy status for the school have already been made.

We are also asking that this petition is recognised as a formal complaint for allowing the situation to reach a point where our children are now being denied schooling.

Yours sincerely

Drayton Green Primary School Parents & Carers

How it will be delivered
