Parent feedback and comments from the recent annual survey
Parent feedback and comments from the recent annual survey
In the autumn term, the South Lincolnshire Academies Trust conducted an annual survey with students, parents and staff from all three schools who are part of our Trust. We had an overwhelming response with 1,390 students, 563 parents and 278 staff giving their feedback, which was completely anonymous.
From this we can identify where we need to make improvements but this also gives us an indication of how you think we are doing.
As you have taken your time to give us your feedback, we wanted to share with you some of the results and comments from parents that were specific to Giles Academy.
Parents results
95% – My child feels safe at Giles Academy
90% – I feel my child is doing well at Giles Academy
91% – My child is happy at Giles Academy
Parents comments
“I think the behaviour points system works very well and encourages my children to want to do better and achieve points during lessons.”
“The communication we now receive as parents is far better than previously received and much appreciated.”
“My child is being raised very well at the school.”
“I feel the school are doing an amazing job teaching my child and also putting their best interests first.”
“I love the rewards you offer it helps them try harder and gives them goals. The previous school for my child was an awful experience and I’m so glad I moved her.”
“My child has been welcomed as a new student this year having moved from a different area. I can honestly say he has been made very welcome and feels really comfortable already.”
“Rewarding good behaviour and extra duties such as the Prefect Breakfast was a great success.”
“My son smiles every day when he goes to school as there is a very good atmosphere.”
“You seem to be controlling the behaviour of the children which is great to see.”
“When we had a loss in the family, the school dealt with this amazingly and gave my son all the support and more that he needs (and the family).”
“The way the school handled lockdowns and the work set was also outstanding. We felt nothing was any trouble and always felt we got a quick response to anything that was asked.”
“My son is in year 11 and I can see he now wants to engage with the school and is proud to represent it, which was not the case previously.”
“I feel that the pastoral care really stands out as a positive as all of the school staff have put her at ease and have been there to answer her questions and support her.”
“My children are happy when they return home after being given a ‘star pupil’ accolade in lessons. This type of immediate feedback is productive and motivating.”
“I love the new uniform. It’s much nicer that the grey and red.”
