Parent/Carer Surveys

At Edgbarrow we believe that in order to improve, we must have feedback from our stakeholders such as parents/carers and students. Throughout the academic year, students are asked to complete a range of questionnaires about school life. After each Student Progress Evening, we also ask our parents and carers for their feedback on the school.

These surveys are discussed by the Senior Leadership Team and the Governors, and contribute to how we strategically improve Edgbarrow to ensure our students are getting the best possible school experience.

2022-23 Parent/Carer Surveys

Last year, 98% of our parents said that they would recommend Edgbarrow School to another parent or carer, including 100% of our Year 11 and Year 13 parents.

96% of parents believe their child is happy at school.

In addition to this, over 90% of our parents across the year groups agreed or strongly agreed to the following statements:

  • My child feels safe at this school.
  • My child makes good progress at this school.
  • My child is taught well at this school.
  • This school makes sure its pupils are well-behaved.
  • The school deals effectively with bullying.
  • The school is well-led and managed.
  • The school responds well to concerns I raise.
  • The new online parent evening is effective.

Further feedback regarding communication with parents has led to the roll-out of Class Charts, which has been well received by students, parents and staff.
