Student 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. This is then followed with asking for parental feedback from each year group.
Both surveys contribute to how we strategically improve Edgbarrow to ensure our students are getting an all-round, best experience.
