The Principle…

Dear Sir/Hello,

My name is (Your name), and I work at a research think tank called (Institute name). We have recently been working on a project that looks at learning outcomes of children with disabilities. (Describe on project type). The project aims to build a conversation around disability and to push for greater accessibility and inclusion. (Describe in your own words). As part of this project, we are working on a video series to make the issue more visible.

For the first video, we are starting a general conversation and have already filmed at (another school name). I am interested to also film at your school, if possible, to show how a special needs school functions, and what that looks like. (Cordially describe your requirements).

I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this. I am looking to come in for a day and film children in classes, perhaps focusing also on ramps and other nodes of access. (Explain the actual cause and situation).

Please let me know at your earliest convenience if this is possible. (Cordially describe your expectation). I understand that is it now close to the start of summer vacations, but if your school will remain open for a few days longer, our project would benefit greatly from your cooperation.

best,
