Parent/Carer Feedback

💬 Parent & Carer Voice

We are committed to working in partnership with our families to support every pupil on their educational journey. Your feedback helps us continue to improve, grow, and live out our Trust priorities of nurturing excellence, strengthening our community, and ensuring every child can flourish.

Listening to Our Families

In 2026, we were delighted to conduct our first Trust-wide parent survey. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their views. Your voices truly matter and help shape the future direction of our schools and wider Trust community.

Below is a snapshot of the key feedback shared by parents and carers across our Trust. This feedback will continue to guide our improvement priorities, strengthen communication with families, and ensure that every child feels supported, valued, and inspired to succeed.

“Working together with parents and carers is one of the most important ways we can help every child flourish academically, socially, and spiritually.”
