You Said... | We Did... |
Children need more after-school clubs | We expanded our extra-curricular offer to include new clubs such as sports, reading, homework and much more |
Parents would like more updates about children’s learning | We have strengthened our communication with parents by providing regular updates through our school Twitter account, publishing termly curriculum overviews, and sharing half-termly newsletters. In addition, we invite parents into school at key points during the year to showcase children’s learning and celebrate their achievements together. |
You’d like more opportunities to be involved in school life | We run regular parent workshops and coffee mornings so families can share views and be part of school life. |
Uniform is difficult to buy | To make the process easier for families, we stock school uniform items directly at school. Parents can conveniently purchase these using ParentPay, ensuring uniform is both affordable and accessible when needed. |
There is not enough time to pay for trips | We now book school trips further in advance, giving parents and carers plenty of notice. This allows families more time to plan and budget for costs, ensuring that all children can take part in enriching experiences. |
Transition between year groups can be worrying for children | To support pupils as they move into their new classes, we have dedicated transition days, where children spend time in their new classrooms and meet their new teachers, as well as parent “Welcome Back” meetings at the start of the academic year. These opportunities help children to settle quickly, feel reassured, and begin the year with confidence. |
Parents would like more notice about key events | We publish key dates on our school website, and send letters in advance. This ensures families have plenty of notice to attend important events and celebrations. |
