As a school, we are always keen to hear feedback from our parents, via regular questionnaires and conversations. It helps us to know what we are doing well and also ways we can continue to improve.
This is what our community say about our school;
A very nurturing environment, clear set of values, incredible leadership team, friendly and supportive teachers, well rounded curriculum where the children are engaged.
Encourages and motivates my son to want to be good, persevere and strive to become better.
The transition from Early Years to KS1 has been seamless. Our son’s vocabulary acquisition and love of reading is being particularly well supported and he is always keen to tell us what he has learnt, the aims of which he can articulate very well. It is clear that the curriculum has been well thought through and sequenced, and that this is being communicated overtly to the children as our son can often explicitly explain links between concepts to us at home.
Oh, so many things. As a teacher, I have experience in different schools, and I can’t help but compare. Strand truly stands out thanks to its exceptional leadership team, maintaining strong communication and relationships with parents. This leaves parents of 5-year-olds well-informed and at ease.
I think it’s great that so many teachers already seem to know my child and us and we feel we are “someone “despite being a lot of parents and kids. This I like because I think it makes a difference to my child that they feel a part of a community and they are noticed if they were not there.
School is supportive, open for any time conversation, feels safe and gives a feeling of being a part of the family. The teaching program is great. My son, as not native speaker is improving fast, enjoys reading and learning about so many facts which he translates into his home language while telling about school new topics.
A very big thank you for your immense commitment, dedication and hard work towards making the school the best it can be, for the children, families and staff. Many don't understand how much work you all do (and sleep you lose!) but those who do know appreciate this greatly.
Trying to find the best solutions for children to learn, create new opportunities to expand and explore the knowledge. Manifesting good behaviours and rewarding them, Making children safe and protected at school which is vital for reducing their fears and any stress. Being welcoming, showing empathy and kindness.
A really wholesome place to be
SOTG is an outstanding school. Choosing it was the best decision we made.
So many things! The staff are brilliant. The activities, resources and communication are excellent. The number and variety of books is amazing.
Fostering a love for learning across the board. Reading and a love for the written word.
It is everything in my opinion one could ever wish their child to be part of. So far in every way I could ever dream of. The entire school from the very top (head teacher-all teachers AND assisting staff and reception team - smallest pupils-parents. JUST EVERYONE) is one wholesome community raising the future generations correct in balance and harmony. Not too little not too much… JUST RIGHT.A very nurturing environment, clear set of values, incredible leadership team, friendly and supportive teachers, well rounded curriculum where the children are engaged.
