Parent Questionnaire 2018 to 2019

Background

Questionnaires were handed out on Monday 25th March questionnaires to be completed on the evening. We had a response of 88 questionnaires (44%)

Observations

There were 20 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 88 completed Questionnaires 48 had provided additional comments.
On average across all questions there was an overwhelming positive response (94%) to those who ‘Strongly Agreed’ and ‘Agreed’.
