Mixed Year Groups 

Thank you for attending Parents' Evening.  We hope you enjoyed the opportunity to talk with your child's teacher and found the discussion helpful.  We have prepared an additional questionnaire for parents of children in mixed classes to enable us to hear your view and make informed decisions that best support our pupils.  The children have already completed a questionnaire in class, which gave us invaluable insight into how they feel about learning in mixed year groups.  We are now inviting parents and carers to share their views so that we can build a full picture from both pupils and families.  Please take the time to complete this short questionnaire - your feedback is very important to us.
