As part of our cycle of self-evaluation, we recently invited parents and carers to share their views through a questionnaire. We are delighted to report that the response was overwhelmingly positive; we would like to thank everyone who took the time to provide feedback.

As you will see from the results, responses regarding homework arrangements were the most polarised. Of those who completed the survey, 54% strongly agreed that the current arrangements work well, with a further 19% agreeing. In contrast, 19% disagreed, 4% strongly disagreed and 4% selected ‘don’t know’.

We recognise that families have different circumstances, commitments and expectations regarding homework, and we appreciate the range of views that have been shared through the survey. These perspectives will be carefully considered as part of our review.

From a staff perspective, we believe that homework can help to deepen children’s understanding of the topics covered in school, while strengthening the partnership between home and school. The tasks are designed to provide opportunities for children to consolidate their learning, develop their creativity and, where appropriate, enjoy optional family activities linked to their learning.

I would like to reassure you that all aspects of the questionnaire will be carefully considered and reviewed by the school leadership team. Any resulting actions or amendments will be implemented from the Autumn Term.

We are committed to providing the very best education and support for all of our children and families, and this is only possible with your continued support. Your suggestions and comments are greatly valued and play an important role in informing future improvements.

Please remember that completing the questionnaire is not a substitute for contacting the school directly. If you have any questions, concerns or uncertainties, please speak to Mr. Buttery or your child’s class teacher at any time. We are always keen to hear from you and would encourage you to get in touch whenever the need arises.
