Parent Survey and feedback
You said.... we did.
| March 2025 | |
| We would like more school trips | This was for children in year 3. They had visitors into school and two visits with Lakeside arts but parents expressed that they would like a visit to another place. We have organised a faith trail and a trip to conkers. Swimming was also mentioned although there had been no change to swimming timetable - now the children are in three mixed year 3 and 4 classes, they will have two terms of swimming per year, which is four terms over two years rather than the previous one year (three terms). |
| Summer 2024 | |
We would like more help so that we can support children better at home (parent survey below). | School improvement plan highlights this area as a priority (Click above to see the document). Coffee mornings 24-25 have teachers from all subjects in to talk to parents about how subjects are taught and ideas for helping at home. All subject leaders and teachers have a target to communicate with parents about ways to help at home. Hot meals and homework gives children chance to do additional support work at school and parents can come for dinner and talk to staff. Dojo posts are more consistent and show what children are learning in classes. School website to be improved and including links for each subjects. |
Parents would like more after school clubs and extra- curricular activities. | Calendar of clubs set up for over the year. Variety of activities on offer at lunch and after school for Key Stages 1 and 2. Hot meals and homework club Wednesday and Thursday - children attend a variety of clubs and siblings and parents come for dinner afterwards. School holiday clubs - we are awaiting HAF funding and working with partners, including Forest and Evolve, to provide more holiday clubs. Easter 2024 - holiday booster clubs took place. External providers: Forest, Music and sports coaches providing clubs. |
Our last Parent Survey was in March 2025

Excellent Communication with Parents
We know that strong communication between school and home is essential. 89.1% of parents agree or strongly agree that the school communicates well with families. We will continue to build on this by keeping you informed and involved in your child’s learning journey.
High Recommendation Rate
Parents overwhelmingly recommend our school to others, with the vast majority scoring us highly. This is a testament to the trust and confidence our community places in us.
Looking Ahead
We are proud of these results, but we are always looking for ways to improve. Some parents suggested more trips and swimming opportunities, and we are exploring ways to make this happen. Your feedback matters, and together we will keep making our school the best it can be.
