 | About our school Lawns Park is a friendly, happy school with a purposeful atmosphere. We are all here to learn and we are eager to challenge ourselves and persevere, even when the learning journey feels difficult. At Lawns Park the children have a voice and they are listened to. Children own their learning with great pride. We are committed to ensuring learning is enjoyable, purposeful and stimulating for all our children and we know that our class pages will help us to deliver this. We also know that our parents and carers want to be able to access information and communicate with school easily. Again, this site is designed to make sure this can happen. We are so excited about the learning possibilities our website offers our pupils, parents, carers, staff and governors. As always, we value your thoughts and comments as we develop and grow our site. Rebecca Ford, Head Teacher. |
A message from our Head Teacher, Ms Ford:
Dear parents and carers,
We would like to share a summary of the results from the recent OFSTED questionnaire that we did at the last Parents Evening. This was very well attended and clearly shows your investment in the school & your children’s education.
In summary more parents than ever strongly agree with the aspects outlined in the OFSTED questionnaire. So for instance
-Year on year % of parents saying their children enjoy school has increased to 99% this year, 81% of whom strongly agree.
-There is a significant increase in parents saying they strongly agree that the school informs them of progress their child is making (64%) with 96% agreeing overall.
-99% of you say that you think your child is making enough progress which is more than in previous years.
-100% of parents surveyed said that the teaching is good at LPPS
-Overall 98% of our parents said that they are happy with their child’s experience at school, 64% of whom strongly agreed, an improvement on previous years.
Some parents made written comments, the vast majority of which were positive, thanking teachers & the school. They:
-Acknowledged that sports opportunities were better, although they wanted more.
-Acknowledged that communication was better.
-Requested a Homework Club after school & a Readers Club.
-Asked for better lunchtime supervision.
We listen to your comments and work hard on them. So for instance you asked us to work on communication & over the last 12 months we have introduced Schoop, a weekly up date and introduced Parent Forums. Unfortunately the last OFSTED Parent Forum was very poorly attended by parents & carers. If you have any other ideas about how we can maintain and improve transparent and timely communication we would love to hear your ideas.
“No limits, no boundaries, no excuses”.
Over the last three years Lawns Park has made some significant changes resulting in rapid improvements. The Governors of Lawns Park have a three year plan to secure further improvements for our school, for our children, for your children.
"We have come a long way as a school since our parents OFSTED Forum in January. Please have a look at the progress we have made in relation to the targets we set from this meeting."
