Parent voice

What parents tell us about their experience of our school

We were glad to hear all parents say that their child feels safe at school and that children enjoy coming to school. Parents said that the school has clear expectations and promotes good behaviour through the Golden Rules and school values. Many parents told us that the school teaches children to have good manners and helps children learn how to develop socially.

Many parents told us that they find the school a welcoming environment with a community feel. Parents said that they find the staff approachable and supportive. Parents felt that they are welcome to discuss any questions or concerns with the school and feel comfortable doing this. Many parents commented on the positive relationships that staff have with children and how children are treated fairly.

Many parents commented on how well organised the school is and how clear communication is with parents. Parents told us that they appreciate the ways that school provides excellent communication with parents and regular information through the weekly newsletter, text messages, Academic Review Days, after school meetings with the class teacher and Parent Information Coffee Mornings. A few parents commented on wanting more updates on their child’s progress. We welcome parents to book a meeting with the teacher whenever you want to. Teachers are pleased to meet parents to answer questions, to talk through the child’s work and offer advice for things to work on at home. Parents do not need to wait for Academic Review Days to do this. Do phone the school office to ask to arrange an appointment to see the class teacher.

Parents were pleased that the school has a high-quality curriculum and that teachers teach the children well and help them to do their best. Many parents commented on how well the staff understand the needs of the children and how the school is an inclusive environment in which all can be successful. Parents commented on how staff notice when children are not feeling their best and when they need help.
