I am delighted with these results. Particularly the result on how the school deals with bullying. Some work needs to be done in regards to taking your views into account. We may look at a survey monkey for this and ideas from yourselves.
Quite a few of you are unsure how your child is assessed. A guide is currently being prepared and an assessment meeting will be held in February to explain this further.
Some of you feel you do not get useful feedback on your child’s progress. We will arrange a meeting for this on how to improve our communication.
Some of you feel the school is not well led or well managed. Please let us know what we can do to improve.
