How to make a complaint about a schoolComplaints form

Anyone wishing to complain about a school should contact the school to resolve the problem. 

Search our Services A-Z for contact details for a particular school. All schools are required, by law, to have a complaints procedure, which they should publicise and make easily available. Please contact the school for this information.

The school must be given the opportunity to respond to your complaint and it is the school's responsibility to deal with complaints through its own complaints procedure. 

We do not have the power to investigate complaints about schools or instruct a school to take any particular action in response to a complaint.

There are three specific exceptions when consideration will be given to our involvement in a complaint about a school.

These are:

  • when child protection related allegations are made
  • complaints about the school's failure to deliver the national curriculum and
  • concerns about health and safety within a school. 

If you need further guidance or clarification, please contact our Children’s Services Complaints Team Childrens.Complaints@redbridge.gov.uk.
