I WRITE with reference to the article about children’s safety at Charford First School.

I have been a parent at this school for the last seven years and my youngest son is in the same class as the parent with concerns.

I wish to state unequivocally that in my seven years I have never had any issues with my children’s safety.

My children have been happy, safe and I have always found the school to be communicative and helpful in dealing with any questions or comments I have had.

The staff at Charford First School are exceptionally committed and caring, and have often impressed me with their attitude towards the children, which goes way above and beyond the call of duty.

I am sorry to hear this parent has had such a difficult time but I would like other parents to know that this school has been excellent for my three children.
