We would like to invite you to a Parents ICT afternoon on Tuesday 9th October: 230-315.

During the afternoon we will show you:

How you can ensure your child is safe online. (e Safety)

How the school uses iPads to enhance learning. (with a chance to play!)

How you can use our school website to support your child’s learning.

How you can use Parent View to help us develop the school.

There will also be a chance for a question and answer session, where I can offer advice on a number of issues.

If you are interested please return the form below. Please also keep an eye out for a letter giving a summary of these issues or search our site for e Safety. https://donningtonwood.com/

If you have any immediate e Safety concerns please visit the www.thinkuknow.co.uk site.

Ofsted Parent View

| donningtonwood

Ofsted have launched Parent View, a new online questionnaire that will allow parents and carers to give their views on their child’s school at any time of the year. Covering over 22,000 schools across England, the 12-question survey will help other parents as they make important choices about their child’s education and provide Ofsted with information about schools that will help inform priorities for inspection.

To fill it in for our school visit: http://www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/

Parent View has been produced with the assistance of a panel of parents who contributed to shaping the questions and the way the site functions. The questionnaire covers a range of topics, including quality of teaching, bullying, behaviour and levels of homework, allowing parents to give a view about their child’s school on each issue, with a final question as to whether or not they would recommend the school to other parents. The questionnaire does not allow free text comments but invites responses to a series of closed questions.

The questions were carefully chosen to cover those issues that parents told Ofsted are the most important to them. They are also designed to provide Ofsted with the information to support decisions about inspection and will give headteachers a direct route into gathering the views of their parent group.
