dd is at an sn school and moving to secondry in september. she has been viiting the department and has seen the classroom and all was well.

Unt il we received a letter to tell us due to building work her new classroom will be in the primary department
they will follow secondry curriculam and all othe secondry things. so only their classroom has moved.
I am annoyed because they have decided to do this 2 weeks before the end of term. with no consultation. Havve not mentioned toilleting arrangements. also the dep head keep son calling it a transition class...it's not it's yr 7
dd will be unsettled by this and I am going to write aletter to the school and send a copy to the geovenors.
I realise they won't change it but at least I will have my say.
can you give me any advice on what to put
thanks. I will be putting this in education as well.

bumping for you 2shoes.

Maybe they hoped the building work would be finished, but it's over-run (as it always does, of course)? Hope school can come up with some plan to help dd cope with the changes.

I know this may not be what you want to hear or what others would advise.... but I wouldn't do anything. If its going to happen anyway then there isn't much point in complaining. It will only spoil your relationship with the school/staff. I would hold onto any letter writing opportunities until something comes up that you can change. Maybe a vent here will get it out of your system?

I agee with Davros. If writing a letter won't change the situation then it could just spoil your relationship with the school, especially if you intend to go over the headteacher.
I would definitley moan about it here to make you feel better though

I would of thought it would be helpful for you and dd to go and look at classroom she would be using (if not already done this) and ask about toilet arrangements.

not sure I totally agree but have decide to take your advice
But will let dd's teacher know that I am not happy (in a nice way No shouting) and send an email to the parent governor who is a friend so at least I will feel I have done something.
