Have schools gone mad pt2

[SpiritMr89]

Step daughter yr7, cme home yesterday saying the whole school was having a 'search'.

What actual rights do they have to search my 11yo daughter (yes I see her that way)?

She hasn't done anything wrong.
Apart from forgetting a rubber, which is a 1hr after school detention. Never fecking happening on my watch. I aint having her walking 14mile home down dark roads at 11yo.

Understand if a pupil is making threeats and stuff. Then they need searching.
But this seems even worse than when I was there.

Teachers made up rules, and screamed at kids to try enforce them.

Am on her Parent/Guardian forn thngy, can I go in on my day off thurs, and tell them to stop being dickheads?

From what I gathered of her, it was to 'ensure safety of the school'.

Already looked up the law about it. And as per usual for this 'academy' they flout the rules and hope a parent just accepts it.

This is while 2 kids a know in the past year have been put in hospital, after getting a kicking outside the school gates. Last one was yesterday, a yr7 got done by 2lads and 3 lasses whilst someone filmed it.
School refuses to do anything about it.


This is N.E Lincs, not a mid city school.

You should stand as a school governor, then you can directly influence what goes on. They never have enough volunteers anyway so you have a good chance of getting a position. My brother did it at his kids school when he decided they were doing a shit job. Spent a few years lighting rockets up various arses and upsetting the applecart. Among other things, they select the head teacher.

Contact the Principal and ask what is going on; it's probably not unreasonable to ask someone to turn out their pockets if they suspect something, but if they're physically searching that's a totally different thing. Just ask what happened and what was the driver? It might be something as ridiculous as another pupil suggested your step-daughter/daughter might have had something she shouldn't have, this would probably be enough to instigate a search?

Change school.

If you do not like it, you can request DfE to intervene, but sadly, welcome to a shit school.

I work with schools, its either your child is the problem, or the school is the problem. I don't want to assume... so I will say its the school and you need to speak to the DfE, not the school.

Find their name, check governance, recent ofsted etc. See if its bad. I don't touch Lincolnshire schools (well we have 1...) but they are both ends of the scale, cause for concern and outstanding, and we get the same amount of problems from each

They'll happily let a 11yo, wqlk 14mile down dark back roads, for forgetting a rubber.

The stuff posted in threads like this (plus piss-poor work/life balance) is why I spend an inordinate amount of my time trying to get my OH to quit her job as a secondary school head.

Life is short; how I wish she'd just let people deal with the consequences of their bad relationship choices/contraception failures (delete where applicable) themselves.

Parents say strict Spilsby school is breaching human rights

I get the impression that the parents think State schools are some sort of mental health facility or education system. Where the fuck did they get that idea from
