Parent Survey Results - October 2022
In Oct 2022, we conducted a questionnaire and wish to thank all those parents who took the time to complete and return their survey. We received 103 responses.
We are delighted with the overwhelmingly positive and encouraging comments which we have shared with governors. Our staff work very hard to ensure that your child has the best start to their lives. It makes it all the more satisfying when it is recognised by parents and carers. Thank you very much.
92% of our parents would recommend our school to another parent.
We have taken your constructive feedback on board and will act upon it. Hopefully, you will see the evidence of it as the academic year progresses.
Some of you have said that you would like us to offer more clubs. This continues to be work in progress for us as we need to strike a balance between staffing and club numbers.
Some of our new parents, especially in Reception, felt that they needed more time with the school for more accurate feedback. We will re-administer the questionnaire to those parents later in the year.
Sometimes when parents have a concern, they are unsure who to talk to. The class teacher is always the person to see about teaching and learning, behaviour or other needs. This will help us to sort out any concerns quickly and effectively. If the concern cannot be resolved at this stage, the class teacher will escalate it to Mrs Westbury (for KS2), Miss Winnett (for Rec/KS1) Miss Spedding (SEND related) or, in some instances, to myself. We will then make an appointment with you to see us. I am also available at the gates on most days. I hope this helps.
There is always room for improvement and I hope that you will let us know if you have any suggestions or constructive feedback on any aspect of school life at any time during the year.
Here are the highlights from the results:
- 99% of you feel your child is happy at school
- 97% of you feel that your child is safe at school
- 95% of you feel that your child does well at school
