To think school heads should be contactable in school holidays

A secondary head is likely to be on 70k+ and a primary head of 50k+. Those are high salaries for positions of senior management responsibility. AIBU to think they shouldn't just cut off completely in the school holidays?

Maybe some heads really are working in the holidays but I know the head at DC's school definitely doesn't. She is, for example, completely uncontactable from the end of one term to the start of the next.

Oh and ironic thing is the sort of parents that expect this are the ones that won’t pay (even £1 donations when they drop their designer shoe clad kids off on their brand new BMW every day) then don’t respond to letters/ requests etc, regularly stroll up late to collect their kids and never accept of their child is in the wrong lol

Rickobucks that makes no sense whatsoever. All schools have staff in on A level results day. Assuming he'd applied correctly the universities would also have had a reference. I can only assume he fucked up somewhere and didn't apply at all. Or you have woefully misunderstood. Or you're not talking about U.K. universities.
