Kirkland Rowell Surveys and Potential Uniform Change

Parents will be aware that we recently made an electronic version of the Kirkland Rowell survey available for completion. We would like to offer our thanks to all who have completed that version of the survey. As a result of some parents not being able to access the electronic version, we also circulated paper copies for completion. The deadline for completion is approaching and we would remind parents to return the completed surveys to their child’s form tutors as soon as possible. Once again, thank you in anticipation. Clearly, the questionnaire is not compulsory despite some misconceptions currently being aired on Facebook. However, it is a genuine attempt to find out the views of all of our stakeholders even though we appreciate that parents may not know the answers to all of the questions.

The results of the surveys will be presented to interested parents on the evening of Wednesday 18th April at 6.00pm in our main school hall. On the same evening, I would also like to consult with parents about a potential change to our main school uniform when the various options will be outlined. It is important that we consult with all interested parties. All Harton stakeholders will be involved in the decision-making process and will have the chance to register their opinion via our school website. Any parent wishing to attend should complete the slip below and return to their child’s form tutor. Many thanks for your continued support.

Yours faithfully

Sir Ken Gibson - Executive Head Teacher ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
