Often when I am talking to grandparents they tell me how they sit outside their grandchildren's school, look over the school fence at playtime or even go into the school to talk to the Head.
Although I understand so well why they do it, as they are desperate to see there precious grandchildren.
I would stronger urge you to take a step back, put yourself in your grandchild's place.
How is it going to affect them if they see you?
The children are embroiled in adult conflict that they don't understand, they are trying to unpick their own feelings, you will not help them by going to their school.
It is possible that in their own confusion the only place there is any resemblance of consistency is school. A place were they feel safe, a place were they can learn and grow without conflict and disturbance.
Possible the only place they can just be a child.
So please think of the children, and don't put the Head in an impossible situation.
They can not allow a grandparent to see a child without the permission of the parent.
