Every Year during our Parent Consultation Day we collect the views of parents and carers. Over the years we have done this, it has led to changes to the structure of the reports that we send out, the kind information we share with you, how we structure the day, the clubs and activities that we offer after school and, most importantly, it has improved the way we work at our school for the benefit of your children. 

Even though we have had a very different year since our last questionnaire, we still wanted to continue to gather the views of our parents and carers so we used an online questionnaire to collate their views. This is the summary of our February 2021 outcomes.
