The school has a School Governing Body School complaints procedure based on Rhondda- Cynon –Taff guidelines. The Education Act 2002 requires governing bodies to publish their complaints procedure. Complaints’ procedures should be fair and applied consistently. Complaints should be dealt with in three stages-

Stage 1 - complaint raised with and resolved with by first recipient within the school.

Stage 2 - matter referred to head teacher for investigation, decision and resolution.
