Ofsted ParentView Survey - June 2019

At Biggleswade Academy, we know that working in partnership with families has many benefits for our children. We value all feedback from our stakeholders and as a learning community, we are really keen to hear what parents believe we are doing well, as well as the areas where parents would like to see improvements.

Consultation can happen informally, on the playground, or formally through a written survey. We also canvas views via our parents forum. In addition, we have a suggestion box for parents in our three main entrances.

This year, as part of our inspection, Ofsted invited parents to complete a survey to present their views of the Academy:

"I really value the fact that the school really looks out for the children's happiness not just how they do in tests. The teaching staff have got to know my children and what makes them tick so enables them to be proud of what they achieve."
