> Hi Vanessa
I am in sole charge of an 11-18 year mixed comprehensive and find some of
the 6th Form a real problem. As Catherine suggested, I offer the students
the opportunity to discuss the problem with a deputy head with me or I give
a written report to Form Tutors and Director of VI Form. Response is varied
but I find most Form Tutors will raise the issue with the student concerned.
Deputy Heads are, however, often unavailable when needed most!
Best wishes
