Parents' Voice and Annual Surveys

Parent and carer voice is really valued at St George's.

We look to engage with families through family events, senior staff visibility, annual parent surveys and forums.

Below you will find our last two parent surveys.  We get exceptional feedback from our families but you also challenge us to be better.

In response to our 2024 survey we have:

1.  Developed a new programme of family events to ensure that parents and carers have a menu of:

• Transition and welcome events to their new year group.
• Curriculum information events so you can know more about how we teach and experience our classrooms.
• Parent evening and aspiration events.
• Drop in events for academic and personal support.

These will be a combination of during the school day and after school events.  We will also offer a balance of 'in person and remote events.'

We will also stress that 'in school' appointments can be made for parents' evenings.   The majority of our parents prefer remote parents' evenings but a lot of our improvment comments requested in person appointments.

2.  Continue to reduce the number of platforms that families have to use in school.  We will slowly (to ensure success) move our communication and payments onto Compass.

3.  Reignite our parent forums in 2025 with themed events for curriculum, inclusion and diversity, special needs etc.

You can read our 2024 and 2023 survey feedback below.  We use our surveys to celebrate our strengths but also make best decisions on how to improve, offer family learning, host parents' evenings etc.

St George's is delighted to work in partnership with Parent Talk.  Their approach as a parenting support service, is that every family is unique. They understand the common challenges but send you guidance based on your family and your child. 

You can find answers to parenting questions in their advice articles. Or talk to a parenting coach about anything that’s worrying you. It’s all free, and no topic is too big, small, or embarrassing.
