YSGOL BRO BANW 01269 592481 www.brobanw.com Analysis of Parent Questionnaire Dear Parent / Guardian, Attached is the analysis of the parental responses following the most recent questionnaire (November 2015). Thank you very much to all who contributed and for your advice and suggestions. We use your evaluations to improve and develop the school’s procedures and are confident that by working together, we can continue to provide the best education for your child. Congratulations to Mrs Gnana Antonito who won the £25 vouchers for completing the questionnaire. You will notice that a high percentage of parents are very satisfied and happy with the school. The majority of parents strongly agree that their children are safe at school and that the teaching is good. Some parents noted their uncertainty regarding the school’s complaints procedure. In brief, if you have a complaint, contact the class teacher in the first instance. If you feel that the matter remains unresolved, please do make the Headteacher aware of your concern. The school’s complaints policy can be found on the school’s website and is in the school prospectus. There was some uncertainty amongst a minority of parents regarding receiving information about your child’s progress. The “Drop In” sessions which are held on the 1st Monday of every month are an ideal opportunity for you to see the classteacher without any need for a prior appointment – do use them to come and talk to your child’s teacher about your child’s progress. We also hold termly parents evening and if you feel you need to discuss any issues we are always prepared to meet with parents to discuss concerns. 7% disagreed that the children are well prepared for moving on to the next school. We work very closely with Ysgol Feithrin Rhydaman and Amman Valley School to ensure a smooth and happy transition for all pupils and parents. All pupils from Ysgol Feithrin Rhydaman which transfer to Ysgol Bro Banw, visit the school in the term before they start. Parents are invited to a presentation evening with the Foundation Phase coordinator and Headteacher. Year 6 have transition days at Amman Valley School, and also pupils form Amman Valley support our after school clubs and DT projects, eg ‘The Formula 1”. Year 6 parents are also invited to visit Amman Valley School in the Summer term. Due to the infant and junior department being on two different sites, year 2 children have a transition morning at the juniors in the Summer term to become familiar with the junior site and to meet their new class teacher. Some believed that there is not a good range of activities including trips and visits. We use the local community on a regular basis and some children visit Llangrannog and Pendine yearly. All children visited Folly Farm last term, and the junior children are going to the cinema this term. The infant department are going for tea with Santa, whilst the Welsh medium infant stream have had a theatre show with Fflic and Fflac. Visitors also visit the school on a regular basis, eg, PC Kev, the nurse, Pastor Jonathan, Spectrum project, Pudsey etc. If you have any concerns regarding your child’s education at any time, please contact us immediately. Yours faithfully, Mrs Davies Headteacher
