Questionnaires & Parent Review

Parent View gives you the chance to tell us what you think about our school by asking for your opinion on 12 aspects of the school, from the quality of teaching, to dealing with bullying and poor behaviour.

By sharing your views, you’ll be helping the school to improve and you will also be able to see what other parents have said about the school here:

What our parents say…
"Orchard Primary School has been a great choice of school for my children. They have flourished in an environment that has both nurtured and challenged them through every year group."

"At parents’ evenings we have always received clear and direct feedback about their progress and development in class. Beyond the classroom, the enrichment opportunities (particularly for Sports and Technology) have been fantastic. I would thoroughly recommend this school to other parents."

"We've had nothing but a brilliant experience of the school. My daughter is happy there which is the main thing. She is doing brilliantly academically but I love how the teachers also support in developing their character and responding to their individual needs and this is equally as important." 

"The School is extremely well led, all of the staff are happy and helpful.  The teaching is fantastic and there is a lot of creative learning which keeps the children motivated and engaged. I love that we get invited in to see what our children are learning."

"Local, friendly and well managed. Head teacher is lovely and understanding and any issues are resolved straight away without being made to feel uncomfortable. Teachers are well liked and can be approached by the children easily, and will always push them that little bit further to do the best they can."

What our pupils say…
"Our school is full of kind and friendly people who really want to help us do well."

"The teachers teach in a way that makes it easy to learn."

"We are given lots of responsibilities and opportunities to do exciting things which teach us skills for the future."

“I love coming to school. The adults make learning fun and exciting. They also take care of us.”

“Orchard is a really happy school. All of the adults are really kind and work hard for us. The children are nice to each other.”

“We do lots of fun things in class – we have lots of visitors in to school and our Inspiration Days are great. ”
