All parents and carers who have their contact details recorded with their school will receive a unique link to the survey. If you have not received a link, please email [email protected] with the name of the school your child attends, and we’ll send you the correct link.... This is a great opportunity for the school to get valuable insights from parents. It is a new survey specifically designed to gauge how parents engage with their children’s learning. The data will be given back to each school to support improvement planning. Your feedback will help the school to understand the things they’re doing well, where they can improve, and what’s really important to you as a parent. The survey closes Friday 25 September.
