School Communication Feedback

We are currently exploring ways in which we can improve communication from school to ensure relevant information gets to parents effectively and consistently.

 

Currently, our main source of information is via the school website. Parents can sign up to an automated email service (“MailChimp”) for your child’s specific class. If something has been published to a classes’ bulletin, an email is automatically sent to all of those signed up. This service is not always perfect and emails do often get blocked or filtered. As well as individual website posts, we collate posts to create a newsletter and will post key information on the school Facebook page.

 

We are just looking at how the school community would prefer to receive information and whether there are any changes/improvements we can make. If you could fill in the following Microsoft Form: https://forms.office.com/e/Gseg4Hb94g
