What our parents say…

“We are superbly happy with the school overall.” “I can feel you’re on it and striving for the best.”

Thank you to all parents who responded to the survey issued in May 2022. With an amazing 79% of families having completed it, we can use the data to support the forward planning of the school. Your feedback is invaluable.

We are really pleased that 100% of parents this year would recommend Deer Park School, an increase of 4% from 2016, and that 98% of parents are satisfied with the management and leadership of the school. The parent community are very satisfied with school life at Deer Park School, with the majority of parents describing the school as a welcoming and caring environment with high standards and clear values.

There is a very clear sense of what most parents regard as the primary strengths of the school. The most common responses were:

  • Excellent range of extra-curricular activities despite being on small temporary site
  • The emphasis on nurturing pupils and the excellent pastoral care
  • The high standards of behaviour by all children as well as being polite and self-confident
  • An engaging and creative curriculum which challenges the pupils
  • High quality staff and strong leadership team who are professional and approachable
  • The H E A R T values and strong ethos of the school.

We love the school and leadership team are fantastic.
