We recently surveyed parents and carers about our remote education offering. Key findings are:
The vast majority (97%) are happy with the remote education provision and 92% are confident that their child is learning while at home.
94% told us that the work set for their child is at the right level of challenge and 92% agree that it was the right amount.
The vast majority of parents and carers praised the school for their dedication and efforts to make sure their children are still learning while at home.
95% think that students sticking to their normal timetable is the right decision and 90% stated that they are happy with every lesson being taught over a live Google Meet.
Here's some of the lovely things our parents had to say:
"The provision provided by the school has been excellent."
"You are all doing an amazing job. My children are not missing out on any education in my opinion. Thank you Tanfield School."
"It's been so well organised, Leo is on all day every day and not losing interest and learning all the time. Thanks for your hard work and organisation of it all."
"Mr Davison has been fantastic in ensuring that we have known what to do to ensure Patrick continues to learn. Thanks to him and all of the team."
"I'm really proud with the learning my children are receiving. I feel the normal school hours are helping to keep them in a routine. After talking with other parents who have children at different schools I feel Tanfield have handled this well. Some children at other schools don't have zoom classes or much work."
"Appreciate everyone’s efforts to deliver lessons on google classroom and the support given to students."
"You are all doing a fantastic job."
"The school have been fantastic and understanding with my child’s learning."
"We could not ask for more from the school, staff have gone above and beyond to ensure that the students are learning and also find the time to check on their well-being. As parents, we have been kept up to date with Daniel’s progress during a virtual parents evening which was excellent and with developments in the exam situation through prompt, regular letters as the situation develops. The proactive approach taken by the school to this ever changing situation has really helped Daniel to maintain some kind of normal by providing a routine. Thank you also for the prompt response to the issue raised following parents evening."

"The school are handling things very well and doing a great job with continuing to provide education to pupils throughout the pandemic."
"I can’t thank the staff at Tanfield enough. The education provided for my son during these exceptionally difficult times is excellent and staff are always available and able to help. Huge thanks to Mr Clough and the team."
"I feel that tanfield are doing their upmost to ensure the students are educated to the highest standards throughout these difficult times."
"The teachers at Tanfield are doing a brilliant job at online teaching, I feel that my child is enjoying this different type of learning but she is still looking forward to the day when she can go back into school."
