Kirkland Rowell Survey

As the new Headteacher, looking to develop Scalby School further, I felt it was important to find out what students and parents, as well as staff and governors thought about the school. To this end, I commissioned detailed questionnaires for students and parents through a company called Kirkland Rowell in January. I am pleased to inform you that summaries of these reports are now available to view on the school web-site www.scalbyschool.org.uk.

Parent Survey (January 2011)

Student Survey (January 2011)

 These reports have provided me with much ‘food for thought’ as I work with the leadership team and governors in developing a new vision for Scalby School. I am therefore grateful to those of you who took the time to complete the questionnaire and write your views, all of which I read personally.

Yours sincerely

David Read
Headteacher
