Feedback from Parents Evening February 2023                                                     

Thank you so much for all those who took part in our feedback questionnaire I have read them all and will share all the individual praise that you have shared with the staff, it was truly uplifting. What I have discovered is catching you all as you leave with a simple Google form is definitely the way to go! We managed to get 172 responses which is the vast majority of families in our school and so gives a great response rate. The summary over the two nights is as follows:

‘My children are happy at our school’ - 99% of you agreed or strongly agreed with this statement

'I believe that Steyning C of E Primary keeps my child safe.’ -  100% of you agreed or strongly agreed with this statement

'I believe my child learns well at Steyning C of E Primary and is taught well.'  -  100% of you agreed or strongly agreed with this statement
