Ideas from Students and Parents on How to Further Improve the School

From Wednesday, 12^th June 2019 to Thursday, 2^nd July 2019 the Senior Leadership Team at Mossley Hollins will be writing their School Improvement Plan. This is a document which records the priorities, plans and actions required to bring about school improvement between 2019 and 2021. The plan will actually drive school meetings and development work for the next two years. Naturally, we feel it is essential that we get it right for every member of our school community.

As part of this process, we are determined to hear the ideas of as many people as possible who are key stakeholders in the school, especially the views from students and their parents/carers. As such, we are asking you for your view. Please, as ever, be as constructive as possible.

The questions we would like to ask are:

1. What should the school work to make a priority for 2019-20 and 2020-21 and why?

2. What plans and actions should the senior leadership team put into place to drive this improvement?

We would be most grateful if you could find a little time to take part. Please click on the link, scan the QR code or visit www.mossleyhollins.com/survey/17203.html

Please put your name on the reply so that it is valid.

The deadline is Friday, 24th May 2019.
