Catherine and Clare question Frances’ innocence

The 'Year 6 Pupil Feedback' is cited by Mrs. Beresford as the pretext for excluding Frances from one-on-one sessions with the students. While the feedback itself is not described in detail, its mention serves as an institutional justification for Mrs. Beresford’s action. The object symbolizes the school’s reliance on bureaucratic processes to address concerns about student safety, even when those concerns are driven by external investigations (such as Catherine’s). It also highlights the tension between individual intuition (Catherine’s and Clare’s suspicions) and institutional protocol (the need for 'feedback' to justify action).

Before: Gathered or referenced by Mrs. Beresford as part of her decision-making process.

After: Used to legitimize Frances’ exclusion from one-on-one sessions, reinforcing the school’s authority.
