In the 2024 Parent Survey we asked our parents what we do well and this is how they responded. 

  • As a new parent we feel supported, our daughter feels supported. I cannot fault the pastoral support that has been put in place for my daughter. We feel heard and valued. Thank you.
  • The teaching of manners, kindness and values.
  • Forest school and sports events
  • Good awareness of well being and other factors that impact learning. Creative and varied curriculum with lots of opportunities Forest School is great Cultural, music and creative arts are celebrated and encouraged.
  • A range of activities available to the students. Nice little community school.
  • Different things in the playground, phonics and reading have improved for key stage 1. Teachers are good.
  • Everything, please don't change!
  • Forest school is organised and is a wonderful addition to the school life. Phonics seems well organised and my daughter is progressing well.
  • Nurturing the children, encouraging their interests.
  • For a small school, the learning opportunities (sports, special visits, workshops, theatre, and other) outside of 'normal lessons' that the children are offered are great.
