As a school we place considerable value upon understanding how our children feel about their school, but also how our parents perceive their child's enjoyment, progress and attainment, as well as the opportunities we provide.

We send out a variety of questionnaires during each academic year.

This page displays the results of our whole school parent questionnaire carried out in April 2024.

78 people completed this questionnaire meaning each response is worth 1.3%

This feedback will contribute to our self-evaluation and assist us in making the school the best it can be.

Following the closure of the questionnaire the school collates the results.

These results are then discussed by the senior leadership team (SLT), presented to the school governors and shared with the staff.

The findings of the questionnaire form part of the schools self-evaluation, which is an on-going process, and help to identify strengths and areas we may wish to change, develop or improve.

A good example of this is how the school has shared its key date sheets at the start of the year for the past couple of years. This was introduced, on the back of a previous parent questionnaire, to ensure that parents had as much notice as possible for upcoming events.
