Parent Survey - Your comments
Spring 2025
We are very grateful to all the families who took the time to complete our annual parent survey. Your feedback helps us celebrate what we are doing well and identify areas where we can continue to improve.
We are committed to listening to the views of our parents and acting on feedback where possible. For example, following suggestions in last year’s survey, we were able to ensure all parents know what their children are learning and communicate effectively through sending weekly Pings to each class.
We are delighted to report that:
- 100% of parents say their child is happy at Crakehall.
- 100% agree their child does well at Crakehall.
- 100% parents agree our school supports their child’s wider personal development.
- 100% parents agree that the school has high expectations for their child.
- 100% parents are happy with their child’s transition into Reception/Foundation Stage.
- 100% parents agree the school is led and managed effectively.
Below is a summary of key findings from the responses specific to Crakehall CE Primary School.
Here are some of your thoughts about what our school does well?
- “The school has a lovely, inclusive feel to it. The behaviour of the children is impeccable and the relationship between peers and teachers is lovely. It’s very much a family environment and the staff seem to care about each child.”
- “The school has an holistic approach to the children’s development. The curriculum content is engaging, interesting and uses cross-curricular opportunities well. The staff are hard working and committed to providing the best learning opportunities for the children, as well as being nurturing and approachable.”
- "It is a really happy space. Regular parents evenings and weekly newsletters keep us up to date.”

More sporting opportunities |
Children have PE twice a week and there are sporting after school clubs on offer. Children take part in some Bedale Cluster events and year 1-4 are participating in swimming lessons. |
