Parent Feedback
We recently surveyed parents and carers about our remote education offering. Key findings are:
The vast majority (97%) are happy with the remote education provision and 92% are confident that their child is learning while at home.
94% told us that the work set for their child is at the right level of challenge and 92% agree that it was the right amount.
The vast majority of parents and carers praised the school for their dedication and efforts to make sure their children are still learning while at home.
95% think that students sticking to their normal timetable is the right decision and 90% stated that they are happy with every lesson being taught over a live Google Meet.
Here's some of the lovely things our parents had to say:
"Thank you for all that you are doing at such a vital time in a year 11’s school life. When the world turned mad you have helped ease the worrying of our children missing out at such an important time."
"I think the remote education that tanfield is providing is very good. The Year 7 Head of Year Mr Smith has been an amazing support when myself or my child have need him. I could not praise him enough."
"The remote education by Team Tanfield has been amazing with the right amount of work load also allowing for correct home life balance. We are absolutely amazed how well Lilly is doing in Tanfield, as a young carer we thought she would struggle but she logs on without any prompts from us and she cracks on with it and most importantly has settled well and enjoys Tanfield, best decision we made for high school."
