We wish the Executive Head of Ilfracombe Infants, the current governing body, Dawn Stabb (Head of Teaching and Learning at Devon County Council) and Debbie Clapshaw (Governor Services) to convene an urgent general meeting at the school so that parents can voice their concerns and ask questions.
Why is this important?
We, the Ilfracombe Learning Community, have been denied the opportunity (despite many requests) to have a general meeting with all interested parties to discuss issues arising from the recent defederation consultation at Ilfracombe Infants. We are only being offered limited, segregated, class based information meetings which we believe will be divisive and downplay the need for immediate action. We wish to have a full general meeting which will give all parents, carers and grandparents the opportunity to ask questions and listen to everybody's experiences. There are many concerns that people would like to express and we believe that we have the right to request that as wide an audience as possible can get an opportunity to hear the responses.
