We really value the contributions, input and feedback we receive from our parents and carers.  We have conducted Federation Parent / Carer surveys annually since 2022.  In all surveys, what comes across loud and clear, is that our greatest strength is our staff who educate and care for our children whilst at school.

The comments provided by our parents and carers each year also provides us with good discussions when reviewing our Federation Development & Innovation Plan, as well as our working practice going forward.

Below is the summary of responses to the questions we asked all our families across the Federation in the Summer of 2025.  We welcome feedback at any time from our families and if you'd like to contact us, please email your local School Office - admin@bidwellbrook.devon.sch.uk
