Government School Rating Website
In the UK they have a website where parents can go and say what they think (good and bad) of the school their children attend. What a great idea. You get asked your view on 12 areas, being:
The BBC reports the 12 areas include:
- My child is happy at this school
- My child feels safe at this school
- My child makes good progress at this school
- My child is well looked after at this school
- My child is taught well at this school
- My child receives appropriate homework for their age
- This school ensures the pupils are well behaved
- This school deals effectively with bullying
- This school is well led and managed
- This school responds well to any concern I raise
- I receive valuable information from the school about my child’s progress
- I would recommend this school to another parent
I can only hope for a similar site in NZ. I was sent the link by a parent whose children are attending a great school in Wellington, and they’d like to be able to share their views on it with prospective parents.
