We would like to thank our parents for taking the time to complete our parent/carer survey. your views are so important to us and help us to continue to develop our school. At Gladstone we are proud of our relationship with our parents and really value their feedback. 

In our most recent survey, parents consistently praised the strong communication between home and school, noting how approachable, friendly and available staff are. Many commented on how reassured they feel knowing they can contact us whenever needed, and how valued they feel as partners in their child's learning.

A huge number of comments celebrated the kindness, attentiveness and support for children with a wide range of needs. Words like “amazing,” “attentive,” “supportive,” “kind,” and “fantastic” appeared again and again. Several families highlighted how well their children are settled and how safe and cared for they feel in school.

It was also lovely to see such positive feedback about the learning environment and curriculum. Parents shared how much their children enjoy coming to school, how engaged they are in their subjects, and how much they benefit from the enrichment opportunities you provide. 'The Den' team also received specific praise for their outstanding support and the progress children are making whilst in this nurture provision. 

Here are some of the lovely things our parents/carers say about our school.

“The school as a whole is fantastic.”
