  • Parent Questionnaire

    Background

    Questionnaires were handed out at the Parent/Teacher meetings in October to be completed on the evening.  We had a response of 86 completed questionnaires (78% of our families). 

    Observations

    • There were 22 questions to respond to on the questionnaire
    • The percentages for each category do not always add up to 100% due to rounding up but give a good general indication of preference.
    • From the 86 completed Questionnaires 47 had provided additional comments.
    • On average across all questions there was an overwhelming positive response to those who ‘Strongly Agreed’ and ‘Agreed’.
