Here at Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School we value the views and opinions of all members of our school community. We actively encourage you, our parents, to share your thoughts with us, either by contacting us directly, or through ‘Parent View’. Parent View is an online questionnaire that parents and carers can use to give your views about this school at any time of the school year. Parent View has also replaced the paper questionnaires that inspectors used to circulate at the time of a school inspection to gather parents’ views.

To complete the short questionnaire at http://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk you simply need an email address and a password to register. Once your login has been activated, it only takes a few minutes to choose answers to 12 short questions about the school, such as how well we deal with bullying, the quality of teaching, whether the level of homework given to your child is appropriate, and whether you would recommend the school to other parents.

Your responses are valuable to us because they give us information about what you think of the school and help us to know what is going well and what could be improved. Inspectors will also consider these parents’ views alongside other evidence when making a judgement about the school in future inspections.

When our school is notified of its next Ofsted inspection, parents will be invited to give their views about the school to inspectors using the Parent View online facility as this has replaced Ofsted’s paper questionnaire. Please make sure we have your most up-to-date contact details. Please remember, you can give your opinion of your child’s school through Parent View at any time during the school year. At the time of an inspection, you can refresh or resubmit your views and the facility will overwrite your previous response so that only one ‘view’ for each parent, per school, is held.

If you would like help to use Parent View, please contact the office. Please also let us know if you have changed your mobile number and/or email address so we can update our records.

Thank you
