Here are some of the comments that we received on the questionnaires
‘Occasionally notice is short regarding events ie costume days-point noted we will try to give as much
notice as possible
‘We have had some issues in school but we are working with school staff to get them resolved’ – please
talk to us if you have any issues as we want them resolved as quickly as you do
‘Reading certificates take 2 or 3 weeks to get to the child’-apologies for this we will tighten up
systems & endeavour to get them out quicker
‘I would like to see more girls sports like netball or hockey’-we will look into this and see if there are
any coaches available
‘Try to stagger exit days’ – we will ask the staff to try and put exit days on different days of the
week
‘We are used to targets being set at parent consultations’ we will look into this & share targets at
future parents’ evenings
‘When attending parents’ evening and asking for extra homework this has never happened’-whoever
this is please come in and see either the teacher again or Miss Ingram or Mrs Marshall and this
will be resolved
‘I feel my year 3 does not get enough homework’ –we have spoken to year 3 staff and homework is
coming your way
‘The juniors don’t allow the children to have fun like the infants eg Pudsey’ – we try to make our
curriculum as exciting & motivating as possible, also we are dressing up for World Book Day and
Comic Relief in March
