Unfortunately, it has been brought to our attention that some schools in other local authorities have received hoax phone calls. A male, ‘Uncle Rafool’, is calling the school office stating they have a child from the school (David from year 9 for example). The office staff, on once instance, revealed the child’s surname as there was a child matching that description. The male then went on to say he had the child in his garden passed out/having a seizure. All of this is sadly being recorded and then uploaded to YouTube as a ‘prank’.
It has also been raised whereby children from these local authorities are paying ‘Uncle Rafool’ to ‘prank’ their school and upload it to YouTube. This has been known historically, but has happened more recently within the last couple of weeks. Due to this, we ask you to be extremely vigilant and not to give out any information regarding children over the phone.
The annual consultation period for admissions policies started on 1 October 2020 and finishes on the 31 January 2021. Therefore, if you wish to make any significant changes to your 2022/23 admissions policies you will need to conduct a consultation for a minimum of six school weeks, starting 11 December 2020 to 31 January 2021. Please send any details as soon as possible to admissionsconsultation@coventry.gov.uk
Details of all school consultations should be published on the individual schools' websites and sent to the above email address for the LA to review. All consultation details for schools and Local Authorities are available to view on the Coventry City Council website.
