Feedback from our Parents

As a school, we are always keen to hear feedback from our parents. It helps us to know what we are doing well and ways we can move school further forwards.

At the end of each school year, parents have the opportunity to give us their thoughts via a reply form on pupils' end of year reports. Here are some of the comments made:

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank all the staff at Westacre for the absolutely wonderful and unforgettable 3 years you have given Daisy. She has grown so much as a person and she has thoroughly enjoyed her time with you. Myself and her dad feel it has been the best 3 years of Daisy’s school life so far. Blackwell and Snowdon were both a particular highlight for Daisy which we’re grateful that she had the opportunity to be a part of. We look forward to being a part of Westacre again in the future when Daisy’s sisters join you. 

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for all your hard work this year. Niall has settled into Westacre really well and absolutely loves coming to school. We choose Westacre for Niall because we felt it had the right nurturing ethos, along with the educational values we were looking for. Niall bounces in to school every day. We are so grateful for all the time and care that has been taken to ensure the children have transitioned well into their new school. We have a little boy who couldn’t enjoy school anymore and is always desperate to be there! In our eyes that’s a massive win…everything else is a bonus.

I would like to say enormous thank you to you and your staff for your help and support throughout the year to my son Alex. Every day he attended the school with enormous will and with pleasure. He was always supported and encouraged by your kind staff. Alex was really happy to be at your school. I am very thankful to you for everything you’ve done for Alex , because you supported not only Alex, you supported me as well.

As the year draws to a close I feel I must praise you for the outstanding care and guidance for Amara throughout the year. Staff have been a wonderful support and confidence builder for Amara and been so helpful to me as a first time middle school Mum navigating our way from first school.

Westacre is a fabulous school! The caring, supportive staff have helped our daughter flourish this year and she has loved all of the extra-curricular opportunities available. Chloe loves coming to school now and has grown in confidence thanks to the help of the amazing pastoral team!’

You are such an incredibly friendly school which made / makes my daughters feel so happy, confident and cared for as an individual, despite the size of the school. I always feel so lucky that Freya & Jessie both got places in your wonderful school.

Poppy has had a lovely start at Westacre. I've been able to discuss any worries with ease and feel like I've been listened to each time. It's been lovely watching Poppy taking part in clubs, expanding her friendship groups and starting to grow in confidence.

Thank you so much for giving Freya such a wonderful time at your school, full of so many opportunities that Freya has wanted to take advantage of. Freya will certainly miss the staff, many of whom she talks of with great fondness. She continues to be a happy, confident girl with a 'I can' attitude that you have fostered in Freya. Thanks for preparing her so well for high school!

Thank you for all your hard work that has made Archie's time at the school so great. He has had a fantastic time and this is thanks to the environment you've created. I am so grateful to you all!

We wanted to thank you all for the amazing support you have offered us over some very difficult times.  I am so glad Finley is a part of Westacre, and you have certainly lived up to all the praise that I had heard previous to Fin starting.  

Fin has so much enjoyed being in school this year, and his first year in Westacre has been such a positive experience.  I'm so grateful to all of the staff for all of your hard work throughout. 

Please pass on my thanks to the teachers for their time and patience with Abigail over the start of the year, she was thriving under their guidance and I would like them to know that their time was appreciated by me and my husband over the start of what could have been a tricky year for her. Seeing the happy faces each day on the school gates gave me confidence in Abigail being in school and the fact that they all had time if I had questions was again much appreciated.

Miller is really looking forward to starting DHS in September and I'm sure part of his positive approach to starting a new school has come from the encouragement he has received from staff at Westacre. Please pass on our thanks to all teaching and support staff who have made his time at Westacre happy and memorable.
