Communication between parents and the school is key and Moulsford has an open-door policy for you to give feedback on a day-to-day basis. We are always keen to listen, and efficient communication within the school enables information to be passed on swiftly as and when we are aware of it.
It is also important to us that we know more generally how parents are feeling about the strategic direction in which the school is going. Three years ago we ran a parent survey with an external consultancy RSAcademics. This provided the school with valuable information which helped shape long-term management decisions. It also provided a benchmark of parental perceptions of Moulsford against other schools which have also undertaken this SchoolPulse survey.
We now feel the time is right to run the survey again, to establish whether perceptions of the school have altered and to provide a further opportunity for parents to give opinions on wider school issues. The survey will be sent out in a link in the week after half-term, and parents will have roughly a fortnight to respond. We are very keen for everyone to participate. The last survey had a response rate of 70% against a benchmark of 63%. This time round, it would be excellent to be closer to 80%! RSAcademics will gather all information anonymously, and provide feedback to the School early next term, with a summary of general findings being passed on to parents shortly after.
