Pupil Survey 2008
This survey was carried out by all 158 children in the school from Reception to Year 6 in the last fortnight of summer term 2008. Younger children worked with a grown up in small groups and had the questions read and explained to them. The answers in the graphs are actual responses (not percentages)
In addition to the above questions, the children told us what they like and what they'd change. We have included all responses here, not just headings as we think this shows strength of feeling rather than just strengths and areas for improvement
