Introduction

This report details the outcomes from the latest pupil wellbeing questionnaire. The questionnaire uses questions in line with Ofsted Parent View: https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/parent-view-results for us to compare parent and pupil views in the school on the same issues. There are a few additional questions to the Parent View ones that seek pupils’ views on the school and their wellbeing. The final two questions allow for pupils to express their opinions on improvements the school can make and the best things Chesswood offers. Due to the language used in some questions, teachers explained the question before pupils completed the questionnaire on iPads in class.

The latest survey was completed by 580 pupils (out of 620) in all classes during the week of 14-18 December 2020.

Pupil comments regarding improvements were followed up in incidents where it was deemed teachers needed to be aware of the issues raised. The school council and school governors will be provided with the information in this report to consider whether they can take any ideas for improvements into future action.

Pupil Comments - Best Things about Chesswood

Year	Comments	Comments
3	The nice and kind teachers Making new friends Getting a certificate	That we have a big playground Club because it’s fun TOP 10s
4	The teachers are best at this school They have great teachers and brilliant assistants I love having the coolest teacher in the school The one thing is being kind a.k.a courtesy care and kindness One of the best things about Chesswood Junior School is you can take part in everything and you aren't left out in anything that you do even in the playground when you are playing.	That you get to learn fantastic things at Chesswood Junior School There are so many people it’s impossible not to have any friends Everyone follows the bright spark code so there are a lot of friends that will be kind to me and others
5	The teachers are defiantly the best thing about this school    The best thing abut Chesswood is how kind everyone is including the teachers and TA’s    There are libraries in multiple places arund the school Playground because I can play with my friends and have lots of fun, size of field	I have made lots of friends, kids and teachers Basketball club, computing club, sewing club and Minecraft club How competitive and positive it is and just in general everything is so amazing and fun, I always end up having a good time! The school help me with my worries
6	The teachers’ attitudes - they let you talk when you put your hand up and they don't tell you off too much All of the teachers are really kind and when I moved here mid year 3 everyone in my new class was really welcoming and throughout year 3,4,5 and 6 all of my teachers have been amazing The events like Christmas and Halloween and the race cars I think really makes you feel involved in activities One of my favourite things in Chesswood is the wonderful decorations of classrooms, halls, and displays! The best thing in Chesswood is that when you move class you do not move away from your friends and teachers tell our new teacher who you are friends with.	For me, the best thing about Chesswood is that you can come from a different school and in a couple of days have many friends, which I experienced in year 3, so I definitely like that about Chesswood They honestly care about you as a person How safe they keep the students especially during covid -19 I enjoy the meditation as it gives me time to relax, the teachers who are in our classroom will always help me if I'm stuck or worried or upset.

Pupil Comments - What could improve

Year	Comments	Comments
3	More Art More D.T Not so many subjects / less lessons Class pets	20 mins of playtime A pool I don’t think Chesswood could improve
4	Helping the children but not exactly giving them the answer More sports to make us fitter More reading for pleasure time In spelling if we all get 10/10 we could get a reward like we could play Minecraft for 10 min Maybe we could add a room for the high learners so they could learn harder things while others are in the classroom.	I would like longer playtime because we work hard all day A reading corner in the playground More codes like bright sparks No school uniform I personally don't think there is anything I want to improve at Chesswood Junior School but I would want to spend more time with my teachers!
5	Some of the teachers are too harsh and strict More DT / More engineering lessons / More cooking lessons More English lessons / More reading time There could be more support for the kids who are more academically confident instead of just focusing on people who are not as confident More fun tasks everyone enjoys Maybe if they don’t push people I know it helps with learning but I don’t really like it I think we could have separate desks so we could have more privacy	I wish you could get equipment for playtime because it’s still fun but it could get way better!! To make sure everybody has someone to play with and make sure no one is feeling left out cause it can make you feel really sad A bigger playground Have popcorn for dessert at hot school meals I think we should improve the amount of children not shouting out because sometimes my teachers let people shout out. I think nothing can be improved because it is already amazing Make it stop sexism, racism, bullying and bullying people with different sexualities because it harms peoples’ lives with just a couple of words.
6	Make sure all staff are notified of people's disabilities and once they are make sure they follow the rule of BRIGHT SPARKS and it's not just us following it School councillor that you can say your problems to and they can’t tell anyone A free-time lesion if we have been good to like draw and play Minecraft together / Have free time for at least 10 mins like other schools I've been to (in Brighton) Well I wish that you could play football all one together like boys and girls because there are separate clubs Have 20 mins in the playtime They could get us more things to do in wet play as it is boring at wet play	Improve the behaviour of certain children and classes I think that Chesswood can improve by reducing the amount of bullies there are as there are quite a few, even in my class (I am not naming as I don’t want to point fingers) Chesswood could do something that shows us what adult life is like and what the workplace is like Nothing could because I think it is a good school Irritating COVID-19 rules: no football and sanitiser every time we leave the classroom Shut it down!
