Parental Questionnaire
We were overwhelmed by the positive and helpful feedback we received in our recent parental questionnaire. So many of you took the time to thank the staff for their hard work and commitment. We recognise that there is always room for improvement and the following areas have been identified for further consideration:
- Homework
- Visits and events
Can we take the opportunity to say thank you for this but also thank you for your continuing and relied-upon support.
