A 24% increase here, the new security systems in place including new intercom systems, gates and fob system may have contributed to an increase.  Staff discuss the importance of making safe choices with the children consistently throughout the school.  The NSPCC speak out stay safe campaign, Anti Bullying Week and E Safety Week have remained high profile during 2016 – 2017.

Progress and assessment was a focus last year – and a change over from an old to new assessment system meant that parents were becoming familiar with a new system – without levels.

Communication regarding the new assessment systems, and target tracker documents has paid off, but this is clearly work in progress.

During the year 2016 – 2017 parents have been provided with the Target Tracker progress documents and mile stone sheets at each parent evening, so this new system has had time to ‘bed in’, we hope to see an increase in this area as a result.

A priority for us last year due to the new assessment  system and new curriculum, this will continue to be a focus for us as our parents’ evenings evolve and target tracker documents become more familiar to parents.

A focus for us last year, this low result inspired change for us, with Mr. Winn revamping and creating a new system in 2015 – 2016.  The separate homework questionnaires share positive results – although this is an area where it is difficult to please all.

Termly Family Learning Projects are well received – giving plenty of preparation time is appreciated by parents. Projects are of a high standard and the exhibitions held are a true celebration of the creative talents of our families.

Homework activities are uploaded weekly to the website, as requested by parents.

Many parents don’t know – so we have ensured that we run a high profile E Safety Week and Anti Bullying Week.  Parents have been invited to E Safety Workshops to insure that they are aware of how to keep their child safe on line. St Jude’s has worked closely with organisations such as Just Enough UK and the NSPCC to ensure children receive further guidance on keeping safe. Reports of Several Times on Purpose Bullying are monitored carefully and are extremely rare in our school. We continue to work with the Connected Learning Centre to lead E-safety workshops for parents.

A focus for us this year, we consistently encourage children to talk to a grown up if they are worried.  Mrs. Nociar our Learning Mentor and School Counselor has had significant impact in this area, as well as support staff and class teachers.  Our collaborative work with the NSPCC in 2016 – 2017 has reinforced this message.

Parents have shared lots of positive comments about teachers and SLT being visible and on hand – this is appreciated by parents.

Relationships with classteachers and support staff is clearly a strength.

20% don’t know – These did include Reception parents. These clubs have continued to flourish this year with the addition of a Spanish Club, Baking Club and Health and Fitness Club.  After school provision will be offered to Reception children from September 2017 as part of The KG Doodles 6 O’clock Club.

A noticeable increase of 14% to 42% in the strongly agree category reflects the interest in a wider range of clubs offered. 

26% disagree – this came mostly from Key Stage 1 parents – we will aim to have a greater range of clubs offered to the younger year groups moving forward in September 2017.

A significant increase between the 3 years – with 89% in the agree/strongly agree category, now that we have an established Senior Leadership Team we look forward to an increased percentage again this year.

A low result last year made this area a priority – new pages, information and updates are uploaded regularly.  This is supported by our web designer and photographer who visit school for updated information and to take photographs.

Ms. Richmond – Taylor uploads the newsletter and important information weekly.

Parents requested that homework was uploaded – which we started last

year.  The News and Events pages continue to grow and reflect the creative curriculum, themed weeks and workshop information for parents.

Next year we plan to launch a Twitter feed and Facebook Page.

Newsletters have gone from strength to strength. A celebration of the weekly events as well as key dates and information has been appreciated by parents. This is now emailed out to save on paper and colour ink.

This increase from 2015 – 2016 reflects the excellent creative curriculum, topic work, trips, and enrichment activities that we have worked hard to plan and implement.

agree

disagree

Increased participation has been encouraged through trips, focus weeks, crafternoons and the development of a parent talent bank have contributed to this increase. PTA go from strength to strength – a great inclusive team that work effectively and enthusiastically to support the school’s fundraising needs. We utilise our parents’ skills and talents for school performances, health and fitness week and in the design of our school logo.

A significant increase – however, many parents don’t know, this maybe because we have a relatively small number of children with special educational needs in our school.  More information shared on our inclusive approach across the school may be helpful to ensure an increase in results here.

With the Inclusion Quality Mark that we are working towards in 2017 – 2018 – there will be increased information and greater parental involvement so parents are informed.
