Mobile phones
Students can bring mobile phones to school, but they must be turned off and left in the school office on arrival in the morning and collected at the end of the day.
Should a student be found with a mobile phone during the school day, this will be confiscated. The students' parent/carer will be informed the same day.
Confiscated mobile phones (and other confiscated items) are available for collection by parents/carers during the last week of each term.

Complaints
Walthamstow School for Girls works hard to ensure that all students are offered a quality education. However, if a parent/carer feels that a situation has arisen that they are unhappy about, they have the right to make a complaint.
If a parent wishes to discuss a concern about an individual subject in the curriculum, they are welcome to make an appointment to see the relevant Head of Faculty.
or
If a parent wishes to discuss a concern about a general/pastoral issue, they should make an appointment to see the relevant Student Progress Leader.

Meeting with the Headteacher
The “Headteacher's Surgery" is held on Monday evenings between 16.00 and 18.00. Twenty minute slots are available by appointment only and should be arranged with the Headteacher’s PA, by e-mail to info@wsfg.waltham.sch.uk or by telephone to 020 8509 9446, option 4.
Although the Headteacher is happy to meet with parents and carers, the school’s priority is to ensure that any issues are resolved with the best possible outcome. It may therefore be more fruitful in the first instance to meet with a form tutor, subject teacher, Student Progress Leader or the member of our Leadership Team with specific responsibility for a given area.
When you contact the Headteacher's PA, she will ask for details of the issue you wish to discuss with the Headteacher and then make an appointment to meet with the Headteacher or refer you to the person best placed within school to ensure the quickest and most effective resolution of your issue.
