Parent View

Parent View gives you the chance to tell us and to tell Ofsted what you think about our school, from the quality of teaching to the way we deal with bullying and poor behaviour. The survey can be completed at any time; you don’t have to wait until the school is being inspected and we use your feedback to help us with our school improvement priority planning. Ofsted will use the information you provide when making decisions about which schools to inspect and when. 

When our school is notified of our next Ofsted inspection, you will be invited to give your views about our school to the inspector using the Parent View online facility as this has replaced Ofsted’s paper questionnaire. To ensure you hear about any future inspections in a timely fashion please make sure we have your most up-to-date contact details and of course follow us on Twitter: (@hillwestprimary)

To access parent view please follow the link at the bottom of this page and register with an email address and a password. Once your login has been activated, it only takes a few minutes to complete answers to 14 short questions about the different aspects of our work.  

Your views are important to us and we use the analysis of parent throughout the year. Your views will also help an inspector / inspectors make a decision about our school during the next inspection.

If you do not have a computer or an email address or if you would like help to use Parent View, please come into school and ask at reception.
