Parents' Views of the School

Our most recent Parent Survey was undertaken in October 2023. 

 
There are so many positive responses in most areas of the questionnaire and the vast majority of parents are very happy with what the school provides.
 
 
100% of parents who took part in the survey agreed or strongly agreed that:
1. They would recommend Bledlow Ridge School to another parent 
2. Their child/ren are happy at school
3. Their child/ren are safe at school
4. If their child/ren has been bullied, the school has dealt with the bullying quickly and effectively
 
  
Thank you to all parents who took time to complete the survey.
 
Below are some comments received in response to the question
“What are the areas of strength of the school?”
 
'It has a great community feel, a high level of learning whilst encouraging the children's own voice and opinions. The headteacher is so friendly and approachable, as are all the team from reception, teachers, music teachers. The educational days (science days etc..) are original and fun inspiring our children. I have nothing negative at all to say about this school!'
