"Joke of a school "

Absolute joke of a school kept our daughter home for 3 days due to a bullying issue left god knows how many messages asking for the head of year to get back to us and she still hasn’t so I’m having to take a day off work to go in and sort this out and then to top it off while she’s been off she’s been give a late mark leading to a detention and because she didn’t attend the detention she’s been given a day in isolation all this from the comfort of our sofa unbelievable
