Actions put in place following last survey

Question - Is there anything specific you would like to see improved at future Parent’s evenings?

Parents/carers asked for more time to look through books.
Parents evenings are currently scheduled over two evenings between 4pm and 6pm. Each slot is for 10 minutes with the child’s class teacher and there is no limit for you to look through your child’s books. You can spend as much time as you’d like.

Parents/carers asked for alternative options for working parents.
Although we offer face to face appointments at parent’s evenings, school will call parents if this is a preferred method. Calls can take place at times to suit parents/carers. Please liaise with your child’s class teacher to arrange a suitable time and method of communication.

Question - The school makes me aware of what my child will learn during the year. 
3% of parents/carers disagreed with this question.
At the beginning of each academic year we have a meet the teacher session after school where parents can meet their child’s new teacher and receive information regarding the learning that will take place the coming year. In addition to this, school invites parents/carers into workshops at multiple points across the academic year so caregivers can be involved in the children’s learning. We also have three opportunities to enter school to discuss your child’s learning and the ability to have conversations with staff at the end of a school day. All of our staff are approachable with 100% of parents surveyed agreeing that we are friendly and accommodating.

If you require any further information regarding your child’s learning, please do not hesitate to contact the school office or your child’s class teacher.

If you require a paper copy of any information on this website, please ask at the School Office.
