Parent Questionnaire Feedback
Fri 27 Nov 2020Parent Questionnaire Feedback.
We would like to thank you for your feedback following the recent Parent/ Carer questionnaires which was overwhelmingly positive. A full copy of the results is available at: www.downderryprimaryschool.com/questionnaires/
Key headlines include:
100% strongly agreed that their child was happy at school. All parents agreed that their child was safe at school, 93% strongly agreeing. You felt that the school dealt with any incidents of bullying effectively, that we kept you well aware of what your child is learning during the year and how well they are doing. 100% parents would recommend the school to another parent.
During an unprecedented year, taking part in clubs and activities is an area to develop, and we all look forward to reopening these once Covid- restrictive measures are lifted.
