Dear parents and carers

Inspection of Lea Endowed C.E. School by Ofsted

We have just told your child’s school that we will inspect it on 16^th – 17^th June 2010. The lead inspector will be Shirley Herring. We are writing to you because we would like to know what you think about the school. If you would like further information on why we inspect schools and what happens during an inspection, please visit our website via this link: www.ofsted.gov.uk/indschinspections.

Your views about the school are important to us

If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school (including pupils on sick leave or who are temporarily excluded), we are interested to know what you and your child think is good about the school, as well as anything that you would like to be improved. You can tell us your views by filling in the questionnaire over the page.

Please provide just one answer to each question even if you have more than one child at the school. You can add further comments by writing in the comment box at the end of the questionnaire.

Please return the questionnaire to the school in a sealed envelope, marked ‘confidential’ and addressed to the inspection team. If possible, please return your questionnaire by 1pm on 16^th June 2010. We will consider all questionnaires which arrive during the inspection. If concerns are raised about child protection, we may have to pass the information we receive to social services or the police.

Questionnaires will be confidential to the inspectors. We will not reveal your identity, even if the inspectors discuss with the school any issues that you raise. The inspectors will use the questionnaires to help them to plan their inspection and to make their judgements.
