Equal Opportunities
We believe that each and every child and adult is of equal value regardless of gender, race, culture or disability and is entitled to the widest possible opportunities in a quality education environment. We strive to implement these aspirations across the whole curriculum.
A copy of our Equal Opportunities Policy including Racial Equality is available for parents.
Key Equality Objectives for our School
We pride ourselves on the individual nature of our work with children. The strategies we use are reflective of our inclusive ethos and can be seen in our school development plan and the individual “next steps” for learning.

Complaints Procedures
Stockport Model Complaints Policy for Schools – Nov 2024
Freshfield Nursery School works in partnership & co-production with parents
and carers. Therefore, if you ever have a worry or concern in relation to your
child please do not hesitate to share it with us. It is important to us that we
work with you to resolve the matter.
Feedback is always important to us because it is how we can work to improve
our school and practices.
The difference between a concern and a complaint
A concern may be defined as ‘an expression of worry or doubt over an issue
considered to be important for which reassurances are sought’.
A complaint may be defined as ‘an expression of dissatisfaction however made,
about actions taken or a lack of action’.
It is in everyone’s interest that concerns and complaints are resolved at the
earliest possible stage. Many issues can be resolved informally, without the
need to use the formal stages of the complaint procedure.
We would like to reassure parents/carers that our nursery school takes
concerns seriously and will make every effort to resolve the matter as quickly
as possible.
Please contact our school office if you have a concern or worry in relation to
your child. A member of our school office team will listen to you and ask the
appropriate member of staff to contact you.
If you would like the Headteacher to respond to a worry or concern that you
may have, please email or telephone our school office, and request to speak
with the Headteacher, Mrs Muncaster.
We understand however, that there are occasions when people would like to
raise their concerns formally. In this case, we will attempt to resolve the issue
internally, through the stages outlined within the complaint’s policy below.
Please look at the diagram below which summarizes the complaint’s stages
and process.
In order to resolve your formal complaint it is important that you provide the
school with as much information as you can, in writing if possible. Therefore, if
appropriate please complete the complaint form from within the complaints
procedure policy.
Please mark your complaint ‘private & confidential’ and for the attention of
the appropriate person. If you wish to complain to the Headteacher or Chair of
Governors please refer to the complaint’s policy, and make contact via our
school office.
The Headteacher – Mrs Katherine Muncaster
The Chair of Governors – Mrs Liz Richardson
Please contact our Headteacher, Katherine Muncaster headteacher@freshfield.stockport.sch.uk Tel 0161 442 6944 if possible, in the first instance or the Chair of Governors, C/O admin@freshfield.stockport.sch.uk
