Parent Survey - Your Comments
Autumn 2021
In this year of upheaval and change for everyone in our school community, we are hugely proud and heartened to receive such positive feedback from our parents, thank you to everyone who contributed to our Autumn Term Parent survey.
We are delighted to share some of the highlights from the survey and the actions we are taking as a result of the parent feedback.
What our parents say…
100% said their child is happy in our school
100% said their child feels safe in our school
89% said the school makes sure children are well behaved.
95% said my child does well at this school
When children feel safe and happy they are able to engage in their learning, be inquisitive and have confidence to ask more questions.

“Making my child feel welcomed and valued…”
“The children always have something to look forward to.”
What our parents say…

“…lots of extra-curricular activities during school hours..”
We are listening
Through the survey and your comments, we have recognised there is improvement to be made with the way parents are able to communicate with the school, the school’s values and our wraparound care provision. To that end we will:
- Install a new school telephone system so parents will be able to reach a member of staff at all times during school hours
- Review the wraparound care currently on offer, consider the financial viability of a breakfast club plus further after school clubs
- Welcome parents back into school as soon as COVID restrictions allow.
- We will share our school vision and values more regularly on Class Dojo and Facebook.
