Overview

Communication
Compared to last year we saw an improvement on every element of communication, in particular keeping parents informed about their child’s success outside of academic progress and general updates. As you will see from our action points this is area we have focused on this year and will continue to work to improve still further.

97% feel they have been accepted into a warm and welcoming community.
Actions
Improving feedback to parents
Although there was an improvement in feedback to parents about their child’s progress we will continue to work on this. For this academic year we have introduced three reports, one per term, to provide more regular feedback to parents about their children’s progress and their achievements. The format has also been more standardised across the school so parents get more consistent feedback as their child progresses through the school.
How to support your child’s learning at home
Parents also asked for more information to help support their child’s learning at home. So, we have introduced more frequent workshops on key subject areas for parents and
presentations at the monthly PSG meetings. These have been extremely well attended and we will continue for the new academic year. We have also had “stay and play” sessions in Early Primary to help get parents more involved with their children’s learning journey.
Improving lunch options
Although not an area of weak performance in the survey there were some comments from parents about the school lunch facilities. As promised last year, we now have our Food Committee in place with representatives from our students, parents, staff and catering provider meeting on a regular basis. The Secondary facilities have been refurbished so that we now have a cool and contemporary eating area for students and staff to enjoy. The coffee shop has also had a refurbishment earlier this year to make it a more comfortable space, which we know many parents have appreciated. A refurbishment of the Primary canteen is also planned this summer.
CCA variety and availability
Another area that was mentioned by some parents was the availability of CCAs. This is something we will be looking at for next year to ensure there is a balanced programme available for all year groups.
Our philosophy and vision
Our philosophy is all about being ambitious for our students and our teachers, providing forward thinking international education so that our students can achieve more than they thought possible. Our teacher recuritment looks for teachers who can help us to deliver this and the professional development provided by the Nord Anglia Education group means we have some of the best teachers in the world. Our turnover of teachers this summer will be very low, which reflects the dedication and commitment of the teachers we have and learning consistency for our students.
