Check the Parental Survey results 2024

Thank you to all members of our community who took the time to complete our recent surveys. We conducted three separate ones; a Nursery survey, a Reception survey and one for Years 1 to 6.  Overall, there was a 63% response rate. 


Feedback is very helpful to allow us to adjust and make changes as needed.  It is really pleasing to see that overall the feedback is very positive. The areas highlighted are aspects to further develop these will be considered and applied where appropriate. It can be found here: https://www.barkislandcofeschool.org.uk/news/check-out-our-parental-survey-results-2024/87083 


Thank you for your continued support and helpful feedback.
