This questionnaire is being given to all parents and carers with children at our school. Please fill it in so that the Head Teacher and Governing Body can have your views of the school.

Your answers and comments are confidential to the Head Teacher and Governing Body.

A summary of the view of parents as a whole will be reported to parents, and there will be future documents that give you feedback on what the school has done in response to your comments.

Further copies of this form are available in the office and will also be placed on the school website in the near future.
