Working with parents

At Gurnard Primary School we genuinely value feedback and ideas from parents and carers to help make our school even better. We regularly ask for the views of parents and carers and share information about the school's development priorities.

Parent View

Parent View gives parents and carers the chance to tell Ofsted what they think about their child’s school, from the quality of teaching to dealing with bullying and poor behaviour. The survey can be completed at any time; you don’t have to wait until the school is being inspected.
