Parent's Evening Questionnaire

What you told us

Thank you for taking the time to fill in our short questionnaire at parents' evening. It was great to see so many of you and to hear the very positive things that you had to say. We have collated the results and have them for you to see below.

You said some wonderful things about our school and I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for that from all of the staff who work here. You have also offered some great suggestions about things you would like to see change or be done in the future. We are discussing these as a staff and some of the suggestions raised are already being acted on.
