there have been some low level bullying incidents this year and I wanted to get in touch with my daughter's form tutor (year 6) because when I call, they don't call back.
I'm also a bit unsure about sending such a personal email to a general inbox which any school secretary can read. School have just sent a response to me, saying they don't give out teachers email addresses and asked me to write out whatever it was and send it to the school general info email address.
I'm wondering what kind of communication you have at your schools? I rarely email school, but in the past have been able to email a teacher directly. You can't phone them because they're teaching and then they often phone me back when I'm at work or miss the call, so email seems like a more logical way to communicate. Is it normal for primary/middle schools to refuse to give out the teachers email address?
Communication is generally poor from this school, so this is part of a bigger picture.
