Parent View / Survey Results

Your thoughts matter

As a school, we always love to hear how you and your family are enjoying learning in our community.  Please share this with us!

You are also able to share your views with Ofsted, using their online communication tool - Parent View.  It is important that they have a good understanding of our community, so we would encourage you to register using the following link. 

In Autumn Term 2023 and Spring Term 2024  we surveyed the parents of our children to find out how they felt about our school and the education that their children receive. Please click on the link below to view the responses.

Things that you feel we currently do well at Barley Croft:

• You feel that your children are happy and safe at school.
• You feel that the children are well-behaved.
• You feel that children's personal development is well supported. 

Things that you feel we currently need to improve on:

• Letting you know how your child is doing in school

How will we do this:

• Encouraging you to speak to your child's class teacher to ask questions, or discuss concerns. 
• Reminders to be sent to you to read your child's termly Newsletter and Knowledge Organiser that details the learning for your child for the forthcoming term. 
• Making sure you have sufficient time at Parents Evening to speak to staff to discuss your child's progress

Since the last survey...

Prior to this survey you asked us to clarify the difference between bullying and bothering and how incidents of bullying or unkind behaviour were dealt with. We addressed this by - 

• Holding a parent workshop and explaining our behaviour policy to you - particularly how we as a school define bullying and bothering and how we support all children with this.
• Sending out a parent friendly version of our behaviour policy for you to read 
• Encouraging you to speak to a senior leader, at the earliest opportunity, to discuss your concerns.
