General school information

Portsmouth School Accessibility Strategy - have your say
The Portsmouth School Accessibility Strategy has now been approved.
The full strategy document can be found below.
Concerns at school - complaints procedure
If you have a concern about any aspect of your child’s education, first speak to the teacher. It is quite likely that you will be able to sort problems out this way. If not, you may wish to raise the matter with the headteacher. If this does not resolve the issue, you can take it to the school governors and then finally the Department for Education. A copy of the complaint procedure is available from your school on request.
