Parental Voice
Parent View gives you the chance to tell Ofsted what you think about Feniscowles Primary School.
As Parents and Carers, you can give Ofsted your views of our school at any time of the year using an online questionnaire called Parent View. Your views are really important in helping inspectors form a judgement about our school, and to help us know what is going well and what could be improved.
Please register using the link below. Once your login has been activated, it only takes a few minutes to complete answers to 12 short questions on a variety of aspects such as bullying, the quality of teaching and level of homework.
Our Most-Recent Parent Survey Feedback
Your views are important to us. Throughout the year, we will send out surveys to gather your thoughts and opinions and these will be factored into decision making processes within school.
In the two tables below, you can find the responses to our most recent parent survey. You can also see actions which school are taking to address these. As always, please do speak to us as soon as possible regarding any concerns as and when they arise! We have a list of who is best placed to help you resolve any concerns on our "About Us" tab titled Contact Details.
We'd like to thank all of our families who completed the survey. The results were very positive in all areas. The table does not include responses to all of the questions asked; we have included only responses where action was needed and subsequently taken.
Table 1: questions and responses from parents where no further significant action from school was needed.

Fantastic teachers who work hard and know our children well as individuals.
The school has great family involvement. Communication is excellent. There is a good environment at school.
Teaching and academic standards are very high.
Friendly! On days where I go in for assemblies etc there are always teachers or members of leadership around, talking or just greeting with a smile.
The personal touch whilst always remaining professional. I feel my child has been truly seen even in larger class sizes, his teachers have taken the time to get to know him and support his personal development alongside encouraging him to be his best self academically. The staff are the main strength, consistently going over and above.
Excellent values. Really friendly and caring atmosphere.
The school leaders!
Loving, caring environment. Strong emphasis on building connections and helping little people as they are settling into school in EYFS.
Kids are allowed to be kids!
The SEND support and provision (including IEPs) has hugely improved in the last 3 years.
Leadership is a strength. As is the genuine care for the class which has allowed my child to flourish this year and love every part of the teaching.
My two boys are happy and enjoy school life. They look forward to going to school and come away happy. They speak positively about the other children and about the staff. I feel that staff (at all levels) know the boys which is lovely. I was really blown away by the effort that the school went to this year to make Christmas memorable for all pupils.
Passionate teachers are the school's main strength!
