I'm slightly concerned Julian.

I haven't yet received this e-mail from the HM, so was completely in the dark when I received a PM from someone about it.

I'll have to check with the school office as I think this is the second epistle that has wandered off track !

Or am I now persona non grata ???? 8)

I can't recall if I saw an email for this - but it was published on the CHOBA website.
It may be, under GDPR regulations, that you've not agreed to receive emails from CH?!

JR you are not the only one, I don’t think we should be having to go to CHOBA to read such letters.

I think they should remove the tag line A school like no other I certainly hope that no other schools have such a story of abuse.

I certainly thought that when I looked at the letter. My initial reaction was, "Well, you can say THAT again !!"

Quite a few other schools have the slogan "A school like no other". In fact, CH is the 6th school in the search results on google! I wonder how much CH spent on corporate branding consultants for it?

A waste of money!

Its also worth noting that Hertford Lady's can contact Hertfordshire Police or, indeed, you can contact your local police who can forward paperwork accordingly to either Sussex or Hertfordshire Police.

Since they haven't asked me for approval (as every other tom, dick and harry has), am I supposed to send messages to everyone I can find with Google?
OK a bit tongue in cheek but the point is made
