Parent Feedback

We encourage feedback and appreciate it when parents let us know about things that are going well or that they particularly like about our school. We also always try to listen to and act upon any improvements you think we could make. We send out an annual parent questionnaire and plan to provide further opportunities for parents views to be shared.

Lowerhouse Junior School Parent Questionnaire - March 2025

You Spoke	We Listened
You would like the school to communicate more thoroughly with you about events going on and wider school life.	We have introduced Class Dojo in order to communicate with you more efficiently and frequently. We continue to send text messages for updates too. We now send out a weekly School Newsletter every Friday. We also produced our Facebook Page to update around things happening in and around school.
You would like to see our school website updated and improved.	We worked hard to achieve this quickly by designing our new website to clearly promote what the school offers. We have also developed our curriculum pages which explain our sequence of learning and overviews.
You would like the children to have access to more extra-curricular after school activities and sporting events	We continue to provide a range of after-school clubs across both Lower Key Stage 2 and Upper Key Stage 2. We reviewed the activities on offer to cater for all children (outdoor activities, games, social skills, choir, library, sports activities etc.). Our opportunities for sporting events have developed hugely with a dedicated team of staff supporting children attending a wide variety of events and competitions.
Parents expressed a need for Breakfast Club to support families prepare for school and work.	We reviewed our budget to support this quickly and launched our Breakfast Club at the start of the Summer Term 2025. All children are offered a place and the cost is heavily subsidised by school to just £1 per day. Children who receive Free School Meals (FSM) do receive this place for free to support families with a healthy breakfast and start to the day. We have also worked closely with "Magic Breakfast" who support school with a range of amazing offers of cereals, milk, bread crumpets and bagels for the children to enjoy.
