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:
"I’m very happy with the help and support Chloe receives, during this difficult time. Well done team Tanfield this is a reflection of your hard work and care. Thank you for all you do."
"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!"
"The school have been fantastic and understanding with my child’s learning."
"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."
"I would like to say thank you for the excellent provision you are currently providing online, my daughter is actually doing better than she would in school as there are no other distractions."
"It's brilliant, our school is the only I know doing a full school day to the best of our abilities!"
"Fantastic home schooling experience so far, all lessons well prepared and I don't feel as if my child is missing out being at home. Thank you."
"Appreciate everyone’s efforts to deliver lessons on google classroom and the support given to students."
"A very big thanks to Sarah Johnson, Miss Shotton, Miss Malia and Miss Brown for Tammy in English, they have all been very supportive to both girls and a credit to your school."
"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."
"Fantastic."
"The school and teachers have provided a great deal of support too and when needed have responded swiftly to any queries we might have had."
"My son has maintained a good daily routine because of this, which has helped him navigate the challenges he faces away from schooling."
"Teachers make great efforts to contact parents when Dylan is working from home."
"It is excellent."
"Couldnt be happier!"
"The live lessons are a fantastic way to engage the children and from what I have observed, believe the quality of the teaching has been very good so far!"
"I am extremely grateful for the hardwork and dedication to my child’s education provided by Tanfield, and I actually think it is superior to other secondary settings. He is engaged; puts his all into lessons because of the constant interaction with staff; and was thrilled to achieve star student and then the attendance award. These are all great incentives. The completing of the full timetable provides us with reassurance that he is fulfilling the year 7 curriculum therefore reducing potential gaps."
"I feel that tanfield are doing their upmost to ensure the students are educated to the highest standards throughout these difficult times."
"Tanfield is doing an amazing job at keeping the kids up to date with their education and we are extremely thankful for that."
