2. Our Children – Their Views
What is special about St. Mary’s?
There are caring people
We do things together
There’s lots of places that you can be so you can
make friends easily
God helps us learn
What do you like about the new playground?
I think all of the new playground is brilliant because it
has been made with love
Being able to have the basket balls all the time
It feels amazing when you get to the end of the
monkey bars then you can say, ‘Yippee I did it!’
I love the obstacle course best
The fourth time I made it to the 4th monkey bar I was
proud of myself

9. Parent Survey – We’re listening!
You said . . .
We did . . .
More opportunities for outdoor learning please
We’re on it and already talking to local groups to develop a ‘forest schools’ approach to outdoor learning.
We’d like more information on our child’s progress
Next autumn, spring and summer terms we will provide information on your child’s attainment and their next steps.
We’re struggling with the time frame in the mornings if we have multiple drops
We understand. In response have extended our morning opening time to between 8:40 to Registration will be at 9am.
It would really help to have an after school care option for working parents
We are trying hard to work out if we can manage this will keep you updated.
More music please
There’s a new music club starting in September
