Background
The parent questionnaire took place during February 2012. We received 23 completed questionnaires. So thank you to everyone who took the time to complete them.
Purpose
The purpose of the questionnaire is to provide parents with an opportunity to provide us with feedback on a variety of issues so we can improve the services we offer to you and your child. The questionnaire also helps us with our Self Evaluation Form (SEF) which is a requirement from Ofsted which we must complete each year .
