We are committed to continually improving and have carefully considered all feedback received:
-
Some parents have asked for more notice about events or trips that are taking place. We have taken this suggestion on board and will try to ensure events are communicated with as much notice as possible.
-
Some parents have asked for more notice about the holiday club. The holiday club is very new for Synergy Schools and your feedback has been taken on board.
-
There were some comments about the amount of parent apps for EYFS children. This feedback will be considered for September so that we can reduce the amount of apps parents will have to navigate.
-
Some parents expressed disappointment that karate club was cancelled. Unfortunately, this was out of our control and we were also disappointed. This term we have provided a cricket club and we will be looking further into providing a wider range of after school clubs next term.
