We are listening

Through the survey and your comments, we have recognised there is improvement/better communication to be made with the following:  

Suggested improvement	What we currently have in place	Further action
More clubs and wider enrichment opportunities	We already provide a wide range of clubs, sporting opportunities, trips and enrichment activities across the year, many of which are led voluntarily by staff beyond the school day.	We will continue to review our enrichment offer and explore opportunities to broaden the range of clubs available where possible.
Consistency and clarity in communication	We provide regular communication through newsletters, MCAS, Facebook updates, parent consultations and reports throughout the year.	We recognise that MCAS is still relatively new and that both staff and families are continuing to get used to the platform. Thank you for your patience as we all become more familiar with it. If you ever need any help or support using MCAS, please do contact or pop into the school office and we will do our very best to help.

Finally, please remember you can always contact your child’s teacher or a member of the senior leadership team via the school office if you have anything you wish to discuss.
