Parent Survey- January 2024

Each year we like to send out a survey to parents to try to gain an insight into our community's views on our school. The responses we get from this survey help us to shape the future of our school for our children and our families. Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey.

‘Excellent school, fully trained and attentive professionals’

The questionnaire was sent to all families at Oxford Road Community School. We received 37 responses and below are the responses to our questions.

1. My child is happy at Oxford Road Community School

• 97.3% - Strongly Agree/Agree
• 2.7% - Disagree

It is positive to read that parents/carers feel that their child/ren are happy at Oxford Road. All staff work hard to ensure children feel valued, safe and happy. Where children or families have expressed that this is not the case we endeavour to provide additional support and care. It is essential for us to ensure our children are happy at school in order to learn and develop.

2. My child feels safe at Oxford Road Community School

Oxford Road Community School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our children and all staff share in this commitment. Our staff work hard to maintain an environment where children feel safe and secure and to ensure children have at least one adult they can speak to if they have concerns or worries.

‘Safeguarding of students is excellent’

3. My child makes good progress at Oxford Road Community School

• 100% - Strongly Agree/Agree

The school has worked hard over the last year developing and implementing a new curriculum. The introduction of new reading and writing schemes alongside the teaching of individual foundation subjects (history, music, geography etc) has meant children are making good progress and are fully engaged in their learning. Our school website has a page for each subject with some lovely quotes from the children relating to their learning. Please have a look and see how they feel

4. My child is well looked after at Oxford Road Community School

• 95.6% - Strongly Agree/Agree

The school is committed to caring for all our children whist they are with us. Their well-being is paramount to all we do. We strive to ensure all children’s specific needs are catered for – whether it is developing skills and talents, helping them persevere with areas of the curriculum or school life that is more challenging. We hope that regular daily contact with parents from class teachers, alongside parents evening meetings, enable parents to feel sure that their child is well looked after. However, if parents are unsure or would like further reassurance about their child’s well-being, please speak to a member of the senior leadership team or your child/ren’s class teacher and we can discuss this further.
