Dear Delce Family,

The last few weeks have certainly been busy! We had lots of fun today dressing up for NSPCC Number Day and solving tricky maths problems. It was great to learn how numbers can help us in real life and raise money for a good cause. We'll announce the total amount raised very soon, so keep an eye out for the update. 

We also spent time thinking about our feelings during Mental Health Week. We learned some helpful ways to stay calm and happy, like talking to our friends and teachers, and remembering to be kind to ourselves. It was a week full of learning and laughter!

Our children were absolutely thrilled to participate in a virtual workshop with the author Tola Okogwu. It was a truly inspiring experience, and we're sure it sparked a love of reading and writing in many of our children. 

Some of our budding engineers have also embarked on a fantastic project: building a go-kart! They're already hard at work, and we can't wait to see their creation on the track and cheer them on in the race.

Finally, a reminder to sign up for Parents' Evening next week. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to celebrate your child's learning journey with you and discuss their progress. We look forward to seeing you there!

Kind regards,

Mr Harris and the Delce Team

Congratulations to the children who received merits last week, including whole class merits (left) and this week (right).

Complaints procedures

At Delce, we aim to meet our statutory obligations when responding to complaints from our parents. Parents should follow our Complaints Policy that explains the procedures that should be followed. 

Stage 1: Informal 

The complainant should raise the complaint as soon as possible with the relevant member of staff or the headteacher as appropriate, either in person or by letter, telephone or email. If the complainant is unclear who to contact or how to contact them, they should contact the school office.

If the complaint is not resolved informally, it will be escalated to a Stage 2 formal complaint. The school will maintain a log of informal complaints and review this on a termly basis.

Stage 2: Formal 

If the issue cannot be resolved through informal action the complainant should inform the headteacher in writing. This letter will be acknowledged within three working days. Formal complaints must be reported the local governing body. The local governing body must then be kept informed about progress and outcomes. This letter should provide details such as relevant dates, times, and the names of witnesses of events, alongside copies of any relevant documents. The complainant should also state what they feel would resolve the complaint.
