PARENT QUESTIONNAIRE

Dear Parent/Carer,

Thank you for taking the time to complete and return the Parent Questionnaire.

11 questionnaires were returned (35% of the questionnaires issued.)

As education is a partnership, the views of parents/carers are vital and we are grateful for suggestions as to how we can continue to improve the provision of education for all our children.

Yours sincerely,

Iain M McGuire
