Educational guidance for parents concerned about their child’s learning, behaviour or school experience

You’ve raised your concerns. But do you feel heard?

Perhaps you’ve explained the same worries again and again, filled in endless forms or left another meeting wondering what will actually change. You may feel exhausted, alone or unsure where to turn next.

A clearer starting point

I’m Philippa, an experienced educational professional and a mother myself. I personally consider the information you share and write your Parent Concern Report, bringing together your child’s strengths, your concerns, useful questions and next steps. You can share the completed Report with other professionals, if needed, to help communicate your concerns and support further discussions.

“I was exhausted with it all and honestly felt like I’d failed. I didn’t know what else to try. Having it all written down and organised helped. It wasn’t just going round in my head anymore.

There was a lot in the report, but it was clear. I could go back and read it again. Philippa had really taken on board what I’d said in the questionnaire. I gave the teacher a copy too, and we were able to work through it together.

I’m glad I did it. It helped me feel clearer about things.”

Why Philippa

Because I am independent of any school, I can look at your child with fresh eyes — weighing what you see at home, what school sees, and what the evidence suggests — so you can understand the concern and decide what to do next.

If your child needs specialist assessment, statutory support or input from another professional, I will say so clearly and help point you towards the appropriate next step.

Common questions

Questions parents often ask

  • Is the report a diagnosis or a formal assessment?

    No. The Parent Concern Report is educational insight and professional reflection, written by a teacher from what you and the school have shared. I am a teacher, not a psychologist, so I don't diagnose, and this is not a medical, statutory or specialist assessment, nor a substitute for one. What you get is my professional opinion in writing: what I can see, what your child's strengths are, anything worth exploring further and what I would consider next if this were my child.

  • Does my child need to be involved?

    Not at all, and this matters to me. The Parent Concern Report is built entirely from what you send me. Your child is never tested, observed or made to feel like the subject of an investigation — they need never know it happened.

  • What do you need from me?

    A completed concerns questionnaire, and anything you'd like me to read: recent reports, a page or two of writing or maths, a reading record, notes from a meeting. If you have very little, send what you have — your own account of what you're noticing is the most valuable part.

  • What happens after my report is delivered?

    The Parent Concern Report is complete when your written report is delivered to you. It does not include a reply afterwards, further questions, a written exchange, help wording emails or attendance at meetings. Your report stays in your private area for you to read, download and return to whenever you wish. If you would like practical, prioritised next steps, you can then choose to purchase the Parent Learning Action Plan separately.

  • How much is the Parent Learning Action Plan?

    The Parent Learning Action Plan is £175 in total. Families who have already purchased the required £75 Parent Concern Report receive that £75 as a credit, so you pay £100. It is only available to families who already have a completed Parent Concern Report.
