We, the undersigned, believe that there should be an urgent review by the governors of the Hayling College assisted by governors from other local schools and the local authority, into the effectiveness and appropriateness of the senior management at the college. The recent Ofsted in September 2024 report saw the college receive ‘Needs Improvement’ in every area, despite the college receiving prior ‘warning’ of issues in an inspection in June 2023. The last two years of GCSE results have been amongst the worst in the local authority. As parents we are concerned for the education and future of our children as well as the long-term reputation and future of the school. We also feel that the formal complaints process is not anonymised and are concerned that this route may open up our children to recriminations, so we feel an anonymised petition (names available to the local authority, but not the college) is a more appropriate way to express our concern.
