These are a way of our families letting us know what they would like us to prioritise in terms of the education of their children. The surveys are always completed anonymously. The outcome of the most recent survey can be read from the link below. --- ### Survey 2024: This survey was carried out during the Spring term 2024. There were **54** responses, which represented a 26**%** return rate (**206** families). The survey was divided into three sections: 1. **Section 1 with 12 questions aligned to ParentView;** 2. **Section 2 *(optional)* with a further 8 questions about learning in school and at home as well as vision and values of the school;** 3. **Section 3 *(optional)* with 5 open-ended questions.** --- ### Summary of Findings: **The overwhelming majority of responses were positive.** **98%** responded that their child is happy in school. **100%** stated that their child feels safe in school (*when combining Strongly Agree and Agree as well as Don’t know hasn’t been an issue though*). **100%** stated that when concerns have been raised they have been dealt with properly. **98%** stated that they would recommend the school to another parent. **The lowest ratings were:** **91%** stated that there are clubs and activities available for their children.
