Kirkland Rowell Survey 2017

Our parents have been surveyed by an independent organisation, Kirkland Rowell Surveys, and the outcome has been overwhelmingly positive:

Parents grade the quality of the Teaching, Learning and Assessment as Outstanding.

Ensuring pupils do best and make good progress;

Encouraging and listening to parents views;

Parents grade Behaviour and Welfare as Outstanding

This judgement has been reached as parents have graded the categories below as outstanding:

Overall, our students and parents are very satisfied with the school performance and 99% would recommend the school.

Year 7 students and VI Form girls gave the School the highest scores. Therefore, they are the most satisfied with the overall School performance. The year 7 children and the girls currently at the School would recommend the School to others more than any other group of pupils.
