Grievance Letter Template

[TGoodman]

Hi,

Can someone please assist. . .

I need a template of a grievance letter to my kids school complaining about the 40% increase in school fees, i am not very good at letter writing but have to do something, it is ridiculous!

HELP if you can PLEASE

I think you may have come to the wrong place here, as this is a PC forum?

Good luck in writing the letter, but I think it's something that would be better coming from yourself, rather than using a template - it's a very specific set of circumstances.

TGoodman, hi,

I totally agree with Ian, that a letter of this kind would be best coming from yourself, but if you find the idea a bit daunting, it might help to take a look at this website: http://www.letterwritingguide.com/complaint.htm

It has some helpful suggestions/guidance, and various templates too, if you really need one. Hope it helps.

Good luck.

One of these oughtta do it

Dear Mr Farquarson

I note with some alarm your proposal to raise Tristram's annual school fees by 40%.

Please put on record my sincere disappointment and dismay at this increase and note the following.

My Tristram is born of gifted parents and is himself something of a child prodigy and with that in mind I feel you should be grateful we let him attend your institution. He can only be an advantage to your reputation, when other parents realise he attended your place of learning parents will be queuing up to open their wallets and flop open their purses for you.

Therefore I have enclosed a cheque for 50% of the requested fees and bearing in mind the facts I have mentioned, feel this fee should be acceptable to both parties.

I look forward to meeting you in the new term.

As ever

Yours faithfully

Dear Mrs Henley-Smithers

Thank you for your recent letter informing me you are raising your school fees by 40%.

I have never heard of such poppycock in all my life. Yours is a second rate institution at best and I therefore propose to terminate Jemima's attendance at your school and enrol her in the local comprehensive school.

I do realise this will expose her to ordinary people and all the detritus such schools attract but I do this for reasons twofold:

1) It's about time Jemima had her eyes opened to reality.
2) Finance.

Yours adieu

Think of your childs education first & formost, A private education is a must these days to get a solid education, if they are nearly 15 suggest you enrol them at Welbeck which will help when they join RMA Sandhurst & University.

I do honestly feel for you at this present time & suggest you write to your local MP.
Who probably went to Eton or Harrow and will understand what you are going through.

Hope all goes well for you.

[mucks edit ... do not abuse your status] why come to a pc forum to help with your childs education.
My mind wonders where Ian's advertising this forum!!!

A private education is a must these days to get a solid education:

My daughters all attended state schools and went on to University to gain degrees.One of them is doing an extra 4th year right now at Cambridge University.

So a private education is a must is it?

Also, put into perspective, it would appear private schools are raising fees by 40%, Cameron & Clegg have raised University fees by 300%.

Which makes Private Schools seem like an absolute bargain.
