Name changed as very specific.
Rural school Scotland.
I work in nursery, different building, shared facilities like toilets photo copier with school.
One of my children is 5 and in primary one.
Last Thursday I was asked not to be in corridors when school are at break as my child had become distracted and was locked out class.
This message was passed to me via a third party three weeks after the alleged incident.
I messaged head asking for clarification, as this had not happened. Allegedly my child had come to toilet with me and then knocked on internal classroom door.
THIS DID NOT HAPPEN.
Chatting later to child and asked if they had ever been lost.
Yes, once, didn't hear bell. Was outside. Walked round building, knocked on front class window. I check with teacher, this is correct, child was outside. Teacher said "I got the fright of my life".
So, I've asked for a meeting with head teacher.
- Why has it taken three weeks to raise this?
- My child was outside, no locked gates, anyone could have taken her, school on a main village road, could have been run over.
- Why did nobody ask me on the day? I would have had to take her to the toilet then out her outside, that makes no sense.
4 why no headcount?
I suppose because it's half term and I have time to think I'm getting myself more and more upset about the what if.
I want to outline the above at the meeting and suggest break policy needs reviewed in terms of head count etc.
Anything else I should be aware of?
