Good overall

Struggled with website as we have twins

We missed French as appointment over ran

I would have liked appointment for History and Geography no slots were available of first Evening of on-line option

Appointment limit inadequate

Thought online booking system was really good Twitter feed helpful too

Online system was better for parents

Really like Twitter feed good to keep up to date

Booking system is a great idea

Online booking much better

If only was a way online to get informed reg Homework & assessments

Had problems booking as we have twins not on twitter

Appointment times should be longer

Very impressed with teachers sensitivity. Very supportive

Geography all booked up/ ICT Teacher off sick

Would have like to speak with Geography teacher. Not on Twitter but will have a look

Online booking was very helpful

Very informative helped understand best path to take with options. Enjoyed the evening

New system works well better structured gives more time with teacher

Very well organised really impressed with on line booking system

Online booking made it easier to navigate

We didn’t get to book appointment for all teachers but were able to speak to them went very smooth better than last year.

Pleased with the set-up of appointments.

Extremely well organised new booking system made whole process very slick

ON line booking was great way ensuring we got to see teachers we wanted to

Would prefer face book rather than Twitter would prefer text when letters come out re appts

Great School staff pupils are a credit to the school;

Don’t feel my child receives very much homework not well informed when unit test are taking place so I can encourage to revise prepare for test.

Very smooth and informative parents evening

Would like a better understanding of how pupils selected for trips etc are chosen

Possibly more Homework particular Core subjects

Very happy with my daughters Education

My Child enjoys coming to school

Keep up the good work

Very Pleased and Grateful to the school &staff

Unable to get as many appointments as I would have liked child Guidance teacher is very approachable

Thank You for the online system no more gaps between appointments

A late Parent evening would be more beneficial to those not based in EK and working full time

Thank you for the support you offer my child
