Parental Opinions & Parent View
At Haslam Park Primary School we value the opinions of our parents and regularly collect data to tell us exactly what our parents think we are doing well, alongside what could we do better.
We collect the same information that is on the OFSTED Parent View, however we offer translation service which means that everyone can access the questions.
We collect this data at least three times a year at Parents Evening, then publish a summary of findings and our actions on Class Dojo for parents to see.
