We will be discussing potential ways forward from this in the Autumn Term as part of our Senior Leadership. We will then feedback on any changes made as a result of our discussions.
Spring 2023
Comments/Feedback from Parents/Carers:
Spring 2023
| What do we do well? “Lots of staff that don’t teach our daughter still seem to know her well, they take their time to get to know her. Including the head and deputy. The communication regarding our daughter couldn’t be better whether it is day to day or at graduated approach/annual reviews. My daughters teachers go above and beyond! (Huge thank you to Miss Laws, Miss Dobson and Mr Badcock) they allow my child to feel safe and offer all the encouragement she needs to produce some amazing work!” “I think that the teachers, especially Mrs Tallant and Mrs Jackson listen to the children and the parents very well and are are always happy happy to help.” “My children are very happy at the school so they must feel supported.” “Nurture and care for each child as an individual.” “Communication through the school app is brilliant.” “Supportive teachers approachable to parent and children.” Is there anything you would like to see us do differently? 1) “I would like to see more parent involvement in school day. Read with parents mornings were amazing, or at least some activity together with children and school.” 2) “More personalised marking of work and school reports. They feel very basic and generic, would like to know more detail about how my children are doing and where I can pick up any further support. I feel like more comments from teachers on work makes them try harder.” 3) “This is not linked to the questions above but I would like the early years entrance/exit clear before 8:40 as when walking to the main gates, I feel it is unsafe as it is too crowded for children and adults to walk past. If the early years gate was open it would clear the pathway.” Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and we will be discussing these potential ways forward in one of our upcoming Senior Leadership Meetings. Actions taken as a result of feedback given. 1) Implementation of a library session on a Friday afternoon from the second Summer Term. Invitations to be sent to parents and parents and children to use the library together and share stories. Children can also select a book to take home and Miss Oldroyd will be on hand to support with any reading related questions/queries. 2) We created a document for parents and carers, with further information for parents and carers around the different ways we assess in school as marking is not always fully evident in the books. This has now been shared via Class Dojo but will also be placed on the website. We have also tweaked the current report format to ensure ways forward are clear. We have also sent out additional information around apps that can be used to support learning at home. 3) EYFS and KS1 gates now open at a slightly earlier time to encourage parents/carers onto site which should reduce the number of people on the path and allow easier access. |

Other feedback we received;
“Best school, best support, they make me feel like they are our big family.”
” My child has learnt so much since been at Escourt, the Teachers and staff are all amazing, always in contact with us parents/carers, with any news, developments. I will be sad to see him leave next year for secondary school.”
“I have had the opportunity to be involved in my Grandchild’s education along with his parents. Education is so important so it’s important that we all work together to enable my Grandchild to reach his full potential whilst making education fun.”
“My child hasent got any SEN just yet. The school are getting him referred and helping me so much with his eating. Mrs Finn has being so helpful and also his previous teachers. I also would like to thank the head teacher for understanding with his eating too.”
“This is my child’s second term at this school and has settled in and enjoying the learning experience which I think is down to Mrs Tallant and Mrs Jackson. “
Actions we undertook as a result of your parent voice;
Knowledge Organisers posted on Dojo so that parents/carers are aware of the curriculum content we are covering in each class.
– We have produced a flier for parents/carers around what bullying is and when an incident is considered relational conflict. Mrs Finn is always contactable for any queries around this.
– We are running Thrive drop-in sessions for parents/carers over the coming weeks to learn more about Thrive.
– We have started a SEND newsletter to give parents/carers additional information around SEND beyond the statutory 3 meetings per year.
