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:
"Think you are all doing a fabulous job under very difficult circumstances. Son is working hard everyday & learning. No complaints at all."
"Think you are doing a great job in a difficult time and knowing the importance of a child’s education."
"We could not ask for more from the school, staff have gone above and beyond to ensure that the students are learning and also find the time to check on their well-being. As parents, we have been kept up to date with Daniel’s progress during a virtual parents evening which was excellent and with developments in the exam situation through prompt, regular letters as the situation develops. The proactive approach taken by the school to this ever changing situation has really helped Daniel to maintain some kind of normal by providing a routine. Thank you also for the prompt response to the issue raised following parents evening."
"The school are handling things very well and doing a great job with continuing to provide education to pupils throughout the pandemic."
"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."
