Parent Survey
Thank you to everyone who has completed the parent survey so far.
As part of our ongoing journey and commitment to further improvement and building an even stronger connection between school and parents / carers, we would greatly value your feedback and views about your experience with our school.
We are keen to hear what you think we are doing well, as well as any suggestions you may have for how we can do even better.
The survey should only take a few minutes of your time, and your responses will be treated in confidence.
There is also an opportunity within the survey for you to ask any questions or share any additional comments you may have.
