ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS:-
Homework:
I do feel there is far too much homework set
which encroaches on family time.
I still feel homework is too much for their age.
|
Learning
support:
My child finds work a struggle and could have
more one to one help to improve.
Homework is far too much. Being kept in at lunch
time for not catching up is not acceptable.
There is too much homework. Home time should be
for playing and relaxing.
Struggles with numeracy-feel it would be more
appropriate to have homework that supports this, perhaps in addition to
“class homework”-lot of homework given is very difficult for my child.
My daughter started school late therefore I am
not 100% sure on national expectations or her year end targets as we are
working together to get her up to speed.
|
Parental
engagement:
I think more effort should be made to help
parents with overseas education understand how things are done in the UK.
Many times I find myself stuck not being able to help my child.
|
Curriculum:
PE seems to have a low priority and is not given
the value it deserves.
I think the topics are interesting but we never
get any discussion about what is being learnt about.
I think Cookridge is a great school. I think it
would benefit from an extra hall as PE is sometimes cancelled due to
accessibility.
Cookridge Primary has a good sense of community
spirit, I feel as though both my children enjoy coming every day to learn new
things.
|
Leadership
& Management:
Too much information, at times, from school.
Really impressed with head teacher and her input
this school year. Enjoy her enthusiastic newsletters each week. Also the
importance of attendance. The attitude of staff and positive feel everywhere!
School dinners have really gone down in quality.
I sometimes now question the management of the school.
Would be helpful to know other staff names when
teacher has PPA time- e.g. for PE & RE etc – children don’t always know
or can tell us!
Since positive re-enforcement through team
points has been introduced the children are much happier.
I
think if you are excluded from school all trips/outings should be stopped –
in particular 100% attendance trip to the cinema
