Parent and Carer Questionnaires

 

Talbot Primary School values the views of Parents and Carers and regularly seeks to gain a deeper understanding of what these might be. This helps us to adapt our processes where necessary or share information more effectively. One method for doing this is through regular surveys; however, Parents and Carers should always feel comfortable to raise matters, at any time of the year, so we can resolve them promptly.

Parent and Carer Survey - July 2024

Thank you very much to those parents and carers who completed the questionnaire this year.  We received 98 responses from across the school, from Nursery to Year 6 in June 2024.

The responses were overwhelmingly positive. Please rest assured that all comments are fundamentally valuable in supporting our continuing journey as a school.  We aim to be the best we can be, are guided by our commitment to ‘Courage, truth and loyalty,’ and are very appreciative of your support.  Many of your comments and responses will be integrated into our ongoing school improvement planning.

You can access the questionnaire results by clicking below, but here are some comments too:

  • Community feeling. I feel my children are well known and understood by their class team.’
  • ‘The curriculum organisation and coverage is a strength. Lessons are engaging, lots of trips, special days and parent involvement. The showcases are great. High standards.’
  • ‘Teachers are a strength – they focus on learning.’
  • ‘Nurturing and caring staff, good communication with parents.’
  • 'Excellent teaching, friendliness of staff to both children and parents, supportive, strongly upholds the school values, which is in turn upheld by the children.’
  • ‘Strong leadership, excellent teaching, inclusive culture.’
  • ‘My son has really been enjoying the after school free clubs.’
  • ‘Good standards, high achieving, responds well to parents concerns, approachable and friendly teachers.’
  • ‘Discipline, great team, community spirited, aspiration. Children appear happy and are always polite.’

In order to effectively embed and ensure the views of our parents and carers continue to inform our journey as a school, we also establish bespoke working parties.  Recent examples include consultation of the proposed changes and updates to Relationship and Sex Education (see PHSE page for more details) as well as a communication group.
