At Redmoor we value the thoughts and feedback of parents. We actively encourage parents and carers to share their experiences of the school in terms of lessons, academic progress, homework, safety, behaviour, and communications, including how well new children settle in and how successfully older pupils are prepared for further education, training and the world of work.
Comments are collected at every parentsâ evening through questionnaires. Respondents can choose to remain anonymous or supply their name if they would like a response. The feedback is collated and summarised and all concerns receive a personal response where names are supplied.
The vast majority of our parents are delighted with the school and many positive comments are received and passed on to teachers and support staff. Where any trends are identified, we take active steps to address the situation and communicate this in a general manner through ParentMail or the school newsletter. Where very specific concerns are raised and a name is supplied, we will always contact the parent and work with them to address the situation.
We have received many positive comments from parents at the Year 7-11 âSettling inâ Tutor Evenings October 2024. Here is just a small selection:
