A CONCERNED mother has set up an online petition to get Shafton ALC, now Outwood Academy, inspected by Ofsted after her son was robbed on the way to school.
Hayley Crossland's son Luke, 12, was attacked on the school bus and his money stolen. She is concerned about the school's response and feels Ofsted should look into how the school is run.
Hayley, 30, said when Luke was robbed she didn't know if he was hurt or had any money to get home.
"I rang the school for 90 minutes, until I got put through to a senior member of staff who said the school was not at my beck and call.
"This isn't an isolated incident either, a lot of parents have found the attitude of staff unacceptable."
Hayley has also set up a Facebook page called 'Outwood Academy Shafton Complaints' which has more than 500 likes on Facebook.
