From the RAF Benson Community Primary School
While we are eager to learn how we may improve, we also like hearing about the ways in which we are able to support our children and families. The analysis of the most recent two parents' evening questionnaires is shown above. Where there is a high figure in the 'Don't know' box, parents commented on the questionnaire that they had not had any experience or had been at the school long enough to make a judgement. Although we are quite happy with the outcome, we constantly work to improve for the benefit of our parents and children. "A wonderful school with a caring attitude and amazing outcomes!" (mum) "We participate in a variety of enjoyable activities at school. At RAF Benson Primary School, I adore it!" (son).
