Just how much should parents be made aware of 'their' schools' problems?
My DD's school has routinely under-performed against regional and national averages. In 2014 the school was categorised as "requires improvement" (it had been in and out of Special Measures a couple of times before this). Things have not got better, they have got worse. 2015 the school managed just 37% of students achieving 5+ GCSEs including Maths and English.
By chance yesterday I found out that the school has received a Pre-Warning Notice Letter in January. Essentially the management of the school is under notice that if they dont improve then the Secretary of State will be appointing directors.
As a parent I feel that the school has continuously glossed over its problems. It has routinely presented itself as being normal, average, when it is quite clearly not.
Should the school be talking to parents about its problems?
