Parent Survey - Your Comments

Spring Term 2025

We are very grateful to all the families who took the time to complete our annual parent survey. Your feedback helps us celebrate what we are doing well and identify areas where we can continue to improve. 

We are committed to listening to the views of our parents and acting on feedback where possible. 

We are delighted to report that:

• 100% of parents say their child is usually happy at Leeming and Londonderry Community Primary School.
• 100% of parents agree their child feels safe at school.
• 100% parents agree that children do well at the school.
• 100% agree that the school has high expectations for children.
• 100% agree that the school teaches children well.
• 100% agree that school lets parents know how their children are doing.
• 92.31% agree the school makes sure its pupils are well behaved.

Below is a summary of key findings from the responses specific to Leeming and Londonderry Community Primary School.

What you told us we do well?

A number of parents mentioned they feel their children are taught by confident teachers.

A number of parents talk about the pastoral and caring nature of staff with children.

Children being made to feel welcome in school, particularly in how they are greeted in a morning is a strength.

A number of parents said that the school communicates well, including what children are learning about.

We are listening

Through the survey and your comments, we have recognised there is improvement to be made with the following:  

Suggested improvement	What we currently have in place	Further action
Better communication regarding future plans.	We have created a working party made up of parents/carers, staff and governors in order to fully represent the community. Reminders sent regarding important communications so these are not missed.	Ensure further reminders are sent when important communication is issued. All parents/carers have been given the opportunity to share their views on the future proposals for the school through a comprehensive survey.
As our new headteacher, Mrs Stanley needs to continue to build on her relationship with parents.	Mrs Stanley tries to be on gate duty at either the beginning or the end of the day so that parents/carers are able to get to know her. Please come and talk to her!	Mrs Stanley always has time to meet with parents.  As she is split between two schools, you can always make an appointment to meet.
Some parents want communication on all platforms.	We send out a weekly newsletter which contains all the information about current and future events, as well as regular communication via text.	We are looking to change our communication system therefore all communication will happen via 1 app.

Finally, please remember you can always contact your child’s teacher or a member of the senior leadership team via the school office if you have anything you wish to discuss.
