Help for Parents

Your child’s school is your first point of contact and concerns about any issue relating to school is best resolved where it occurs – at the school.

It is very important to see our school as your partner in your child’s educational journey and to establish a positive relationship with the leaders, teachers and support staff.

At Al Siraat, we need to know if you have any concerns about your child’s education. Teaching and learning works best when parents and schools work together to solve any problems.

Some parents will have had unfortunate and regrettable experiences of bullying in their own school life. Try not to let these get in the way of working collaboratively with your child’s coordinator to solve any problems.

Our College has very clear responsibilities to prevent and manage bullying and to create safe and supportive learning environments for your child.

Please note:

• It is important to be clear about the issues you want to discuss
• focus on the facts and the things that affect your child
• remember you may not have all the facts relating to the matter you want to raise
• think about how the matter could be resolved
• be realistic about what our school can do.
