The survey was hugely positive and the parents were very grateful for the work that the school does to support their child’s learning.
The survey had an area where concerns could be raised; there were not many who raised concerns but they tended to be centred on 4 main areas.
Homework - some disagreed strongly with the amount of homework the children received - some wanted more and some less.
After School clubs - there was a continuing desire to continue to widen provision and access.
Green issues and concerns about pollution and the environment.
A co-ordinated approach to online learning support that the school provides to be used at home
Future
The school will continue to work in partnership with parents.
We will continue use the parent suggestion box and look to extend the parent voice in the school through the use of Survey Monkey to help find a ‘snapshot’ of opinions.
We will work with subject leaders and parents to come to a greater consensus about the role, purpose and amount of online web-based homework.
We will continue to make sure that at the beginning of every year we hand out and explain our bullying policies at the September welcome meetings and explain to parents how this is dealt with within school.
The school will continue to look at ways to improve the quality of our air and protect our children from the effects of pollution.
