Any other comments about the school's communication and/or website this academic year. |
New website is so much better/improved x 8 See the difference the new heads are making with communication/website New website gives a sense of community YouTube Channel is lovely Thank you to all the school for the information Appreciative of all the information and effort school has made Supportive teachers School calendar should be locked so only parents can see Home learning has been an excellent resource Some suggested activities not compatible with IPads Fed up with White Rose at times Class zooms and phone calls were great x 4 We liked the staff on videos – we would have liked to see them more Felt some topics were aimed at younger children A special school who see children thrive whilst in our care Would have liked more contact with class teacher x 3 Website and home learning are excellent, thoughtful and varied Nursery home learning could have been better A clear improvement in communication x4 Keyworker club was excellent x2 Clearer avenues for monitoring children’s work School listens to parents comment and adapts accordingly x 2 Assemblies would have been good Communication has been fantastic x 11 Communication needs to be clearer Extension activities for the more able would have been good |

|
Want their child to be challenged/pushed to achieve a greater depth of learning |
Work is differentiated by all teachers either to support the children in their class or challenge them. |
|
Issues with consistency in staffing during the academic year |
Unfortunately, this was out of our control. When we realised that this was going to be long term, we quickly put a plan in place to ensure that the children had a consistent teacher(s) |
|
Want more regular parent consultations and see children’s’ work more often |
School provides 3 parent consultations across the academic year – Autumn, Spring and Summer which is the expectation from the government. |
|
More nursery communication |
We are working to develop this, this year. |
|
Disappointed that some years were not able to finish |
As a school, we too were disappointed that the government only allowed R,1 & 6 to return back in the second half of the summer term. |
|
Concerned about the need to catch-up |
The school have quickly identified the gaps in children’s learning and are addressing them so the children catch up as quickly as possible. |
|
Want more targeted communication |
As a school, communication is already targeted but we can look to see how this is further developed. |
|
Teachers do not adequately support SEND pupils |
The progress that our SEND pupils make is at odds with this statement. |

|
Inconsistency in job share expectations e.g. behaviour |
Embedding of the positive behaviour policy should hopefully ensure this doesn’t happen |
|
Wanting to know KS1 SATs results |
This is shared with parents should they ask for it. Something to think about including on the report next year |
|
Too much homework in Reception |
Streamlined homework across the school |
|
SEN- anxiety about next year Better communication among teachers regarding transition to new classes |
Transition is an area we will be looking at in detail when it gets to the summer term. No |
|
Anxiety about changes in routine, getting things wrong Anxiety about coming to school |
Work in PSHCE and assemblies linked to mental health and knowing how to cope and deal with feeling anxious |
|
Homework traumatic! |
Shared expectations with both parents and children re homework expectations not just for SEN pupils, but all. |

|
Observations at lunch and break could be improved |
Governors are including this area in their walk once a year on each site |
|
Procedures for contacting teacher with problems Lack of regular homework Home reading books too easy |
Clear guidelines shared at the ‘Welcome to’ meetings at the beginning of the year linked to contacting teachers, homework and reading that is consistent across the school. |
|
Lack of listening to children’s views at a whole school level |
Each class has a school council representative who takes the views of children to regular school council meetings chaired by a teacher. These views are listened to, responded to and reported to Senior Leadership - should the need matter need to be addressed further. |
|
Would like to see children’s work more than twice a year at parent’s evening. |
Parents are invited in for special sharing afternoons |
|
Art should be more about self-expressing rather than copying existing artwork |
There is a curriculum spotlight on all foundation subjects this year. |
