What do you think we do well as a school? What would you like to see
maintained?
Create a safe environment where children can build their own confidence and
thrive.
Encourage values. Encourage children to look after each other, promote healthy
eating.
There is a real sense that the children look out for and care about each other.
This is clearly encouraged by staff.
Children are enthused to learn and are given prompt feedback from looking in
their workbooks. Children are given opportunities to do extra-curricular activities
including sport and music.
The caring, supportive ethos. The way learning is recorded in books in Y1.
Very warm, welcoming and nurturing. Excellent and positive behaviour
management and building self-esteem.
I very much agree with ‘The school is welcoming and has a happy atmosphere’.
This coupled with the educational standards gives our children an excellent
grounding. There is care for the individual and not just the grades.

I think that the pupils throughout the school mix well rather than just individual
classes or small groups of friends.
I think the teachers are approachable and take the well-being of the child very
seriously.
I think Greens Norton School encourages a close family like relationship between
the children throughout the school and this makes them feel safe and happy to
come to school. The most important thing for a child.
The new arrival in the morning has reduced excess excitement for a calm start
to the day. School have worked with me with regards to assistance with the
children i.e. social worker.
Our child has really enjoyed the Tudor project and as parents we have enjoyed
spending the time doing this. A very caring school with a lovely ethos.
Excellent school community where all children feel valued and have opportunities
to get involved. Great headteacher who has made a really positive impact on the
way the school is run. Hardworking and dedicated teachers.
Very friendly and welcoming school. Focused schooling to support individual
needs.
Celebration assemblies are a great idea, so nice to see children proud of their
accomplishments. High standards of behaviour; encouraging healthy lifestyles,
children of different ages playing together.
The healthy eating is fantastic as it encourages the children to eat better foods.
The teaching standard is also very good and the children are well behaved and
well mannered.
Individual class sizes.
Good focus on good behaviour, promoting politeness and respect. Starting to
‘push’ pupils in attaining more.
Warm friendly welcoming feel.
Treating all children as individuals. Happy school. Very well run.
Treat all the children as individuals and praise then well. Behaviour is managed
well. Happy children.
All staff are approachable and any issues I’ve had have always been dealt with
quickly and effectively.
Nice welcome into reception. Good opportunity to meet with teacher early on to
discuss phonics and like the early parents evening to check our daughter is
settling in well.
Any other comments
Love the school I would strongly recommend to others.
The change in leadership has had a positive impact on our children and their
‘school experience’. Expectations of them are higher and that is a good change.
Unsure when he’s able to attend school clubs?
I really have very little to comment on, it would be nice to see some more extra
curriculum activities that are non sporty. I.e. arts, crafts etc, but I know this
replies on volunteers and it’s finding the people with time to spare.
Having recently moved my child to the school I am very impressed with the
progress my child has made and the high standards of teaching and care given
to my child.
I would love to see a home/school book in the book bag for us to communicate
with our child’s teacher and vice versa. There are often things you need your
child’s teacher to know that don’t require a meeting and can’t wait until the end
of the day.
The school has improved dramatically over the last two years . It is a much more
positive atmosphere and my children are eager to get to school every day. Well
done.
More notice on what’s happening and when. More communication on the after
school club, as we need to plan ahead.
Additional homework as not enough to support my child’s development, as keen
to learn more.
The school has a lovely ‘family’ feel about it. I particularly like the fact that the
head and staff know the children by both name and personality.
The school has improved dramatically. A credit to the head and her staff.
I believe the homework structure should revert back to the way it was.
The school is good at helping with both social and academic skills.
Wrap around care is essential for us, please continue to look into this.
We are very happy with the support and care you have given our son to help
him with his learning and the feedback you give us.
Our child reports that non- teaching staff are not as good at resolving
conflicts/issues in school as teachers.
More info on the extra-curricular activities would be helpful.
Very happy at this early stage (1st child in reception).
Thank you for your time.
