Headteacher's Letter 19.05.2025
Dear families,
As we approach the final half term of the academic year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and share some important updates, celebrations, and upcoming events at Stepney All Saints.
Parental Survey – 2025
Thank you to all parents and carers who responded to our parental survey. We are pleased to share that the results reflect a high level of satisfaction across all areas of school life.
Highlights include:
- 95% of parents say their child is happy at the school.
- 97% feel their child is safe.
- 96% agree their child is making good progress.
- 93% feel there is a good range of extra-curricular activities.
These results reflect the strong pastoral care, academic support, and enrichment opportunities provided by our staff. Overall, 9 out of 13 questions received 90% or higher positive responses, showing a strong level of parental confidence.
We recognise areas for improvement and very much value the feedback. We are already reviewing our practices to further strengthen aspects of our practice such as communication and responsiveness.
Thank you once again for your feedback and continued support. Working in partnership with families remains central to our ongoing success.
Attendance
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing support and commitment to ensuring excellent attendance at our school. Your dedication to your children's education is clearly reflected in the high attendance levels we have achieved this year.
We recognise that building a habit of regular attendance is a shared responsibility between families and the school, and your efforts in this regard have been truly commendable.
Consistent attendance supports not only academic achievement but also students' social and emotional development. Being in school regularly helps students form strong relationships with their peers and teachers, fully engage with the curriculum, and develop important habits of responsibility and self-discipline.
We kindly ask for your continued support in maintaining these high attendance rates. Together, we can ensure our students remain on track to achieve their full potential.
