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:
"Much better this time, I like the fact my son is engaging in live lessons with all of his teachers, seeing and/or hearing them makes all the difference as there are clear expectations. I appreciate the amount of time and effort that has gone into making this remote learning a success and allowing my son to continue learning whilst having some kind of normality Mon-Fri. Thank you!"
