✨ The Prompt — Copy This
I need to write an email to my child's school. Here are the details:
- My child's name: [child's name]
- Their year group: [e.g. Year 4]
- The school name: [school name]
- Who the email is to: [e.g. class teacher, head of year, headteacher, school office]
- What this is about: [e.g. reporting an absence, raising a concern about bullying, requesting a meeting, asking about a policy, following up on something]
- Key details I want to include: [explain the situation in your own words — what happened, what you're worried about, or what you need]
- What I'd like to happen: [e.g. a meeting, a phone call, an explanation, a change, just to inform them]
- Tone: [e.g. friendly but firm, polite and gentle, concerned but calm, formal]
Please write a professional email that:
1. Has a clear subject line
2. Opens politely and states the purpose early
3. Includes the key details without being too long
4. Makes a clear, reasonable request
5. Closes warmly and professionally
6. Keeps it under 250 words
Use British English throughout. Keep the tone respectful — I want to work with the school, not against them.
