I wonder whether the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) realises that the increase in parental complaints is because UK schools are not fit for purpose & parents want better for their children than school leaders are able (or willing?) to provide. The level of blame-shifting onto parents by a broken & dysfunctional education system is disappointing. Nevertheless, school leaders will comtinue to take home massive salaries.
