As promised, we will launch the parent survey next Monday. Run by RS Academics who carried out a similar survey at the Senior School last year, parents will have until Wednesday 22nd February to complete the survey. It should take around 20 minutes to complete and it will be entirely anonymous, hence the external provider. Further instructions and a link will be provided in a separate letter on Monday next week.

As in any profession, and perhaps especially true in education when we are always trying to model behaviour to the children, learning from experts and from each other is critically important to the culture; as we often say to the children and staff, ‘better never stops’.
