Parent Feedback

Outcome of Parental Survey July 2022

A survey was sent to all parents to complete via Microsoft Forms. The questions asked were taken form the Ofsted ParentView, and would be the same questions that Ofsted would ask parents. There were 74 respondents. The survey was anonymous; neither name nor even year group was asked for. (This is the same methodology as the Ofsted ParentView.)

The questions asked were:

1. My child is happy at this school.
2. My child feels safe at this school.
3. The school makes sure its students are well behaved.
4. My child has been bullied and the school dealt with the bullying quickly and effectively.
5. The school makes me aware of what my child will learn during the year.
6. When I raised concerns with the school they have been dealt with properly.
7. Does your child have special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND)?
8. Does your child have special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND)?
9. The school has high expectations for my child.
10. My child does well at this school.
11. The school lets me know how my child is doing.
12. There is a good range of subjects available to my child at this school.
13. My child can take part in clubs and activities at this school.
14. The school supports my child's wider personal development.
15. I would recommend this school to another parent.

Questions 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 required a response of Strongly agree, agree, disagree and strongly disagree.

SUMMARY OF RESPONSES

The percentage of those agreeing are a shown in fig 1.

The analysis for other questions showed:

• Qu4: Of the 74 respondents, % who said their child had not experienced bullying was 64%. Of the 36% percent who had experienced it, 59% said that the school had dealt wqith it quickly and effectively.
• Qu6: Of the 74 respondents, 73% of those who raised a concern said it had been dealt with properly.
• Qu7 & 8: 12 respondents said that their child had SEND. Of these, 67% said that their child gets the support they need to succeed
• Qu 15: 93% said that they would recommend this school to another parent

COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUS YEARS

Previous surveys were carried out in June 2018 and 2017. The questions changed in 2019, and all parent voice surveys 2020-21 were concerned specifically with remote learning and Covid provision.

Because of the change in questions, comparison is limited. Analysis was carried out as follows: each answer is scored (strongly disagree = -2, disagree = -1. agree = +1, strongly agree = +2) and the average answer is worked out.

CONCLUSION AND ACTIONS

• A key action for 2022-23 is to communicate our subject curriculum details more clearly. This can coincide with our new website launch, scheduled for October.
• The number of respondents necessitates further investigation. In-person parents’ evenings will be used to gain further insight during 2022-23.
