Where do I start ..

I'm a father of two children attending this school ...

I drop them off and pick them up 2 days a week ..

That's my duty ..

Let me start from bending the issues I've got with the school


1-

Some time ago music teacher said that she wanted to speak to someone close to the boy I.e mum or dad (pour effort as I always drop the boy for music lessons and if the teacher cannot remember who the dad is then can she remember what does she want to teach the whole lot ?...


2-

Been accused of letting my 7 year old walking to school on his own even though I've dropped him to school that very day and left him right outside the gate - teacher was asking my boy why did he come alone and even though he told the teacher that he's been taken to school by me she / he (still trying to find out who it was ) brainwashed the boy till he have said that he came on his own ( well done- that's bulling)


3-

Yesterday when my wife was going to pick up the kids from school she's been ask by a teacher to pick some random kids up from school as the mother wasn't around ...

(Odd)

Never mind ...

I did not mind to have and extra half a football team in the house for few hours ..

...

The problem is that the mother never shown up to pick them up ...

So I've got bunch of kids in

And I'm not sure if I've adopted them already or not!

Tried to trade the mum and dad

But looks like the only person who cares about the boys is my missus!

Called police so they can sort out my confusion - find the parents or take the kids and return them to their parents but they after 30 min the dispatcher called me and said that I should call social services instead .

Called them up and instead of having some help getting help in returning boys with their parents I've been told to keep then and I should find the parents !

Hello ?!

Does anyone know how to fix my nightmare?

In addition to that I don't how the did the school teacher come up with the idea of a random person picking someone's kids up and looking after them when parents are nowhere to be found and ...

Or

How come social services did not care enough about the kids .. and came up with the idea idea of "look after them "

Outran that is ..

No other word for that .

Should I report the schools stuff for misconduct ?

If so where to ?

Thanks

Dan

Dan, I have never heard or encountered anything

like this. Does your wife know the parents of the

children. I am assuming she agreed to take them

back to your home. I hope the children are okay.

Hopefully you have had a meeting with school, and

got answers from them. It seems crazy they would

allow children to be taken outside of school, because parents did not turn up. It makes no sense.

I find it distressing that neither police or social services failed to make a move and at least make an attempt to find relatives of the children ...

And no I have not have enough time to have a go and speak to the head ...

And no my wife and the mother of the kids aren't friends or even know themselves so I find this situation more than surprising

1. The music teacher is a specialist, probably teaches every child only once a week, unlikely to know parents.

2. Good for the school, conscientious checking child's safety. It is unusual for a 7 year old to enter a school alone.

3. Bazar! Must have been some kind of misunderstanding? Kids not picked up usually goto the reception. Schools are usually super hot on this stuff as it's safeguarding.

Hope that gives you the feedback you need. I will add that's it probably best to take this to the school rather than a public forum.

Procedure for schools/nurseries/after school clubs should be that if a parent/carer is delayed in collecting children, they should phone school immediately to notify them and give approximate time of arrival. failing that the parent/carer arranges alternative adult to collect and gives school etc their name and description, and that alternative adult gives some ID to school etc when arrives. If no adult/much older child collects the children - the school must notify social services and ask that they collect children.


Some schools etc stipulate that if the children are not collected by a certain time i.e. 5 pm schools (possibly) with nurseries and after school clubs tending to be around 6 or 6.30 ish, social services will be contacted.


I had to collect my grand daughter when she was in primary school in Orpington - my daughter had rung the school and explained that she could not collect - my grand daughter was kept in the secretary's office till I arrived some 30 minutes after school ended.

  • 2 weeks later...

This is truly shocking and totally goes against any school safe-guarding policy.

No teacher should allow any child to go home with anybody other than their usual carers/collectors unless previously informed of an arrangement. This is perhaps why social services did not respond, as they must have thought there was an arrangement for the children to be at your house and were just not being collected at the agreed hour.


Please let us know how this was resolved and whether you are planning to report this. One has to assume that the kids' parent/carer was going to pick them up whenever he/she could get there. Imagine arriving at your kids' school and finding it locked up with noone there. Poor show from social services not to actively respond to your call and recognise the failings of the school. Even poorer form from the teacher who sent kids home with another parent, which would be considered gross misconduct in most schools. Contact the local authority (Lewisham?) education team - that school desparately needs some INSET safeguarding training.

The infant school has a postal address in FH, the junior school in Sydenham. They're about 5 min apart bc Sydenham borders FH.


I understood the described incident involved the infant school.


In any event, I hope it was reported and resolved. xx

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
