Parent Voice

We value the input of our parents and carers, and your voices are integral to our school's development.

To ensure we are meeting the needs of our school community, we consult parents/carers twice a year to gather your views on the school. We then carefully consider the feedback and use it to make improvements to our practices and policies. Thank you to all parents who took part in the Summer Parent/Carers consultation. The full parent questionnaire results can be accessed below.

In this year's voice you said:

‘We would like longer notice periods for whole school activities for those of us who have more inflexible work patterns so we can plan in advance to be at school'

‘We would like a greater variety of after school clubs and we would be willing to pay for them.’

‘We would like our children to have a wider variety of opportunities for leadership in school.’

‘We would like more control over what our children eat in school as sometimes we hear that they just eat sandwiches.’

Next year, we will:

1) Try our best to give at least a half term’s notice for events happening in school so you can advanced notice to alter your work/shift patterns. This will not be possible for school trips.

2)  Try to find external providers of after school clubs, which will be paid for. We commit to funding a number of places for children whose parents may not be able to pay for them.

3)  We will expand our offer of leadership opportunities next year in the Juniors

4) We will work with our catering partner to assess the best way to provide greater transparency in what your child eats, provide more meals which our children are familiar with and also reduce the offer of sandwiches.
