At Stoke Prior First School, we work really hard to understand what our parents think about the school as it helps to focus the school's drive for continuous improvement.
We use a range of methods to gather information such as a yearly whole school parental survey, focused parental surveys, parental workshops, informal one to one discussions with parents, staff and pupil voice. This information is analysed and then used to help formulate priorities for the school.
The Governors of the school have full access to the surveys and this helps the school to move forward. If possible, year on year or national comparisons are made in order to demonstrate the impact of changes.
Our 2018 & 2017 surveys were compiled using our 2015 questionnaire and the data analysed in school. Below is a complete copy of all the results and where possible a response to comments.
Where data is available, responses from parents in our school has been compared to responses from parents in all schools using Ofsted's Parent View survey.
Below are the the results of the 2018 & 2017 surveys. They highlight the key findings along with some possible areas for potential development.

98% of the parents surveyed agreed that the school’s approach to bullying is effective.
Homework is one area where it is difficult to achieve a consensus of opinion. Whilst nearly all agreed our approach is effective, 15% felt we give too much, 40% neither agreed nor disagreed, 41% disagreed that we give too much. We will revisit this aspect next year.
There were also lots of other very useful positive and constructive comments which we will consider as we move into next year.
