Message from the Head
The sign-up sheets for these will be available in the front office from Monday. Then, in the summer term, there will be a ‘Meet my child’s new teacher’ meeting where you will be able to find out all the exciting things that are planned for your child to learn and experience from September 2024 and beyond! Keeping you informed and up to date is key to enabling us to work together to ensure your child is happy and making good progress as they journey through Mabe school.
With my very best wishes,
Mrs Stevens
Attendance Stats
Dear Parents and Carers,
As I hope you know, we value your feedback on all aspects of our school and Kernow Learning Trust. Through this year, I have gathered your views through questionnaires at parents meetings, return forms from reports and through being readily available to you all. As we are now in the summer term, we want to provide a further opportunity for you to share your thoughts and feelings on our school; where we are getting things right and where we could further develop. In order to hear your views, we would greatly appreciate you completing our survey via this link: https://forms.office.com/e/4DpcM8ci52
The surveys are completely anonymous, though the responses will be aggregated at school and trust level for the purpose of analysis by our school leaders and trustees. The survey will be available for completion between Friday 3rd May (today!) and Tuesday 21st May. Your opinions and honesty matter to us and are central to how we can both strengthen areas for improvement and celebrate our successes. If you have any questions or concerns about the survey please contact us in the usual ways.
As we have our parents’ evenings scheduled for the week beginning 13th May, you may find it beneficial to complete the survey after your parents’ meeting, but the link is readily available to you now should you wish to complete it straight away. We look forward to hearing your feedback as this shapes how we further develop as a school and Trust. The more feedback we get, the more valuable this is so we would appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey. I will send the link regularly via DoJo and will put it on the next few week’s newsletters so that it is readily available to you.
As mentioned above, we are looking forward to welcoming you to our summer term parent, teacher meetings where we will build on from our spring reports and be able to share with you the progress your child has made and their next steps targets for the remainder of this academic year.
