To The Secretary of State

Dear Secretary of State,
Please use your powers under section 68 and/or 99 of the Education Act 1944 because I believe Wessex County Council/ Park High School is acting unreasonably/illegally by (failing to investigate my complaint of bullying/ failing to supply a copy of my daughter's school records/ failing to halt bullying).

To the Director of Education

(at county council/metropolitan HQ, address in phone book).

Dear Mrs White,
I enclose copies of correspondence with the head teacher and chairman of governors of Park High School where my daughter Mary continues to be bullied by Jane Brown.

Letter to the chairman of governors

(get his/her name from the school secretary and send the letter to the school address).

Dear Mrs Green,
I enclose a copy of a letter I sent to the head teacher of Park High School on (date). Unfortunately, despite writing to the class teacher/head of year and the head teacher, my daughter Mary is still being bullied by Jane Brown.

Letter to the head teacher

Dear Mr Jones,
I have been dealing with Ms Smith over the bullying of my daughter Mary by Jane Brown. Despite discussing this with the class teacher/head of year, bullying is still going on.

Can you please let me know what strategy you can introduce to resolve this problem and how it will be monitored? Is it possible for you to increase supervision at the time most of the bullying happens (at break/ in the playground/ in the corridor/ in the changing room).
