Parent Questionnaire March/April 2022

Dear Parents,

Thank you very much for taking the time to complete the Parent/Carer Questionnaire. We have been busy analysing the outcomes. We had 95 responses.

We have analysed the returns as a whole school, as well as individual Key Stages (e.g. EYFS, Key Stage 1, Lower Key Stage 2, and Upper Key Stage 2.) This is so issues specific to Key Stages, which may affect the overall whole school outcomes, can be supported and explored at Key Stage Level. 

The questionnaire has provided us with a good overview of parent’s views and has highlighted some areas for development. Overall, we are pleased with the positive responses and it is evident that the vast majority of parents/carers are in support of the recent school improvements, actions of the Leadership Team, and quality of Education as we continue to progress toward a ‘Good/Outstanding’ rating from Ofsted.

The following statements had over a 90% agreement rate:

  • My child is happy at this school
  • The school makes sure its pupils are well behaved
  • The school makes me aware of what my child will learn during the year
  • When I have raised concerns with the school they have been dealt with properly
  • The school has high expectations for my child
  • My child does well at this school
  • The school lets me know how my child is doing
  • There is a good range of subjects available to my child at this school
  • My child can take part in clubs and activities at this school
  • I would recommend this school to another parent

Areas scoring above 80% include:

  • My child has been bullied and the school dealt with it quickly and effectively
  • My child has SEND and the school gives them the support they need to succeed
  • My child receives appropriate homework for their age
  • The school supports my child's wider personal development

Areas scoring below 80% include:

  • There are no areas below 80%

Outcomes

My child has been bullied and the school dealt with the bullying quickly and effectively

 

  • Leaflets to all parents reminding of our positive behaviour policy and our anti-bullying strategies.
  • Information and work with children and parents concerning what is an incident and what is bullying.
  • Ensuring the Anti-bullying (Incident V Bullying) posters are up in all classrooms and around the school
  • Anti- Bullying day in school
  • Assemblies focusing on the anti-bullying message
  • Anti Bullying SHARE sessions took place with all children and their families
  • Information was shared with parents and leaflets sent home
  • Anti Bullying themes visited in PSHE and assemblies

 

Parent perception of bullying has improved but there is still work to be done with both families and children.

My child has SEND and the school gives them the support they need to succeed

  • SEND parent survey (see SEND website page)
  • SEND Online meet sessions focusing on key information
  • SEND information in the newsletter
  • SEND Information Leaflet for parents
  • All actions have been put in place

 

SEND outcomes have improved. There is still work to be done especially in relation to families understanding the SEND Code of Practice and the role of the Local Authority

My child receives appropriate homework for their age 

 

  • Parental Questionnaire asking for feedback on current homework and home learning.
  • Homework Policy to be reviewed Summer 2022

 

However, 89% of parents are happy with homework.

The school supports my child’s wider personal development

  • Parent Leaflet to be sent to parents
  • Children present to parents on the way the school supports personal development.
  • Further work on what this means needs to be presented to parents. This will be done through class SHARE sessions.
