2009 Parents' Survey

July 2009

Last July, we asked all parents some questions that we hope

will shed some light on their thoughts about our school.

Here are the responses.

 

We asked parents to respond to each of these statements using one of five categories:

strongly disagree

don't know

 
1 My child likes this school  
2 My child was helped to settle in well when he/she started.
3 My child is making good progress at school.
4 Pupils behave well in school.  
5 Teaching is good.    
6 Staff expect my child to work hard and do his or her best.
7 Staff treat my child fairly and with respect.
8 My child is encouraged to be healthy and to take regular exercise.
9 My child is safe at school.  
10 I am kept well informed about my child's progress.
11 I feel comfortable about approaching the school with
    questions, suggestions or problems.
12 I understand the school's procedure for dealing with complaints.
13 The school helps my child to become more mature and take on
    responsibility.  
14 My child is well prepared for moving on to the next school
                                          or college or work.
15 There is a good range of activities including trips or visits.
16 The school is well run.
