It is important to us that we find out what our Parents and Carers think about the school and how well we are doing. We therefore gather information throughout the year to ascertain their views.

These results are very similar year on year, but it is worth noting that the percentage of respondents who 'strongly agree' has increased slightly this year, with the 'agree' respondents dropping slightly. The 'strongly disagree' percentage has increased by a percentage whilst the 'disagree' result has decreased by the same amount. Those who feel they cannot give a response (ie the 'don't knows') continues to drop.
