ok this sounds very dramatic, but twice this term children in dd2s class (aged 5-6) have left school at home time on their own. In each case this was because the parent was late, but in one case the child got all the way home across 2 very busy roads. The school is in a city centre.
We got a crappy newsletter home after the first event which put the blame firmly on the parent. there is no process for letting children out, I often meet dd2 at the gate although I don't think she will leave on her own.
I want to write a letter to the school threatening that I will take my child out as I really don't feel that she is safe. Can I threaten to tell ofsted? I have told the governers who have done nothing. I am livid about this situation - I can't believe 5 and 6 year old children are wandering the street and can't believe that the school is doing nothing about it
(I'm sure I've outed myself here to several parents!)
