We really value the contributions, input and feedback we receive from our parents and carers. We have conducted Parent / Carer surveys in 2022 and 2023. In both surveys, what came across loud and clear, was that our greatest strength is our staff who educate and care for our children whilst at school.
The comments provided by our parents and carers also provide us with good discussions when reviewing our Federation Development & Innovation Plan, as well as our working practice going forward.
Below is the summary of responses to the questions we asked in the Summer of 2023. We welcome feedback at any time from our families and if you'd like to contact us, please email your local School Office - admin@bidwellbrook.devon.sch.uk
