Articles for Parents and Guardians.
There are many things that worry parents and children about schools and this section of our web site will cover some of these subjects.
One of the first things that parents have to consider if they are moving into a new area or when their child first goes to school is how to find a good school. Our 10 tips on finding a good school covers this and gives parents some guidelines on what to watch for. We also have a different view on things to look for when choosing a secondary school from the students point of view.
Another worry for parents is when their child is refused admission to the school of their choice. Our article on schools admission appeals may help you understand the rules and procedures.

Have you watched children jumping out of cars outside the school that have not been wearing a seat belt or been in a car seat - we have the law as it applies to Children and Car Seats since September 2006.
Everyone knows that it is important to drink plenty, even more important for growing children.
