Parental views
It is always valuable to consider he views of parents when running any school. We believe it is also vital that the views of pupils are valued too.
This section of the website shows the views of pupils and parents over time to our work and also details of how to use the government’s ‘Parent View’ data collection website.

Annual Parent Survey
We have carried out annual parent surveys for many, many years. The surveys normally take place during Spring Term parent/teacher interview evenings. However this year, they were done during the Summer Term.
Sometimes we use the Ofsted format and sometimes we seek parental opinions about specific issues.
Take a look at the results from the 2024 survey here!
Here is a sample of responses from previous surveys carried out in school (totals are percentages). It must be noted that in such a small school one response, on average, represents around 5% of the opinions expressed.
