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.
What do our parents and carers say? (2026)
- It is a lovely family atmosphere!
- Inclusion is a strength! The children are all very understanding of others and the school adapts so well to different children's needs to make sure everyone has a fair chance of success.
- We allow children to be individuals and support and encourage them to be themselves.
- Staff listen to my child.
- My child always receives a warm smile upon entering school every morning.
- The opportunities for learning, additional lessons (music, cooking etc) the child have, given it's a small state school, is wonderful.
- Teachers make lessons engaging and fun.
- Age is no barrier to friendships!
- The children are exceptionally well mannered, they all look out for one another and have to be some of the most kindest young people I have met!
- It is a warm and caring environment, where my child is taught positive values and able to learn.
- We listen well to parental concerns.
- We support the mental health and well-being of children.
- The school has a wonderfully caring and welcoming atmosphere and environment for all!
- The school has a diverse curriculum that offers many different opportunities to find things that interest them or what might be their passions for the future.
- Friday worship is wonderful - it makes every child and their parent feel part of a special community, as do church services.
- The school upholds its church responsibilities effectively - it also integrates well within the village community and promotes itself well within that small community.
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.
