My child has seriously been failed by this school. There was an indecent safe guarding with my child. He鈥檚 too scared to go back. He has been left at home for 3 months. No education and no communication from the school. It鈥檚 no short of neglect and negligence. Children are not safe at this school. The school is privately run and is only interested in the children鈥檚 funding and not their wellbeing.
