These were some areas suggested to develop. We would like to share how we have listened

to these areas and how we would like to act on these:

- Issues with ParentPay - there can be issues with ParentPay and this can be tricky for us as a school to resolve due to this being an external provider. We do report these concerns to ParentPay.

- A few parents said that their children were really looking forward to Lego club and suggested this as a future club. This is something that we would like to run after Christmas. More details will follow about this.

- A few parents discussed streamlining events with the Junior school. This is something we are keen to do as we appreciate it can be tricky to have siblings at both schools with different dress up days etc. We will endeavour to do this as much as possible but there may be occasions when we celebrate events that are important to our school that might not be suitable for the Juniors that we would still like to run with.

- Although communication was discussed as a strength at school for many, a couple of people mentioned that they would like us to consolidate communication and that information crosses too many mediums. We aim at school to ‘over-communicate’ as we know as busy parents, things can easily get missed so for this reason we do try and use a variety of mediums but we do try and communicate the same messages across the different mediums.

- A few parents would like us to introduce online booking for parents evening. This is something that we hope to use for our next parents evening.

- One parent asked if we could inform parents about if the fire system covers the hall. The fire system does cover the hall and we have at least half termly fire alarm tests so all children and staff know what to do when the alarm sounds.

- A few parents requested that RWI/parent information meetings could be recorded for working  parents. This is a great suggestion and is something we would like to do for out next meeting.

- Internet safety is always a concern for parents with the increase in technology for children nationally. A few parents would like information on how ICT is used by children in school. The school will be planning a parent meeting in the Spring term to discuss how we use ICT in school and to also discuss internet safety.

- One parent bought to our attention that on the first day of the new school year, not all class teachers were visible in the playground to show new classes were to go. This I something we will ensure is in place for the next academic year as it can always be a little nerve-wracking to start a new class with a new teacher without the added concern of if you are in the right classroom.

Although it is wonderful to hear all the strengths of our school and we are overwhelmed at the positive response we received, we do really appreciate knowing how we can continue to keep improving and moving forward so we thank you for bringing these things to our attention. As always, Mrs Gray is always on the gate, unless at a meeting or on a course, so please don’t hesitate to share any more feedback.
