2018 "Three Stars"
The staff at the school, they are always professional and friendly, easy to approach, they are the “stars” of Redbridge Primary School
Redbridge Primary School is a perfect example of how different children can work together and learn together
Extracurricular activities such as sleepovers with campfires, various assembly activities and sports days are highly enjoyed by the kids
The school aims to include parents and lots of opportunities where parents can join their children
Definitely would recommend our school to new parents
Learning techniques / teaching techniques are of a very high standard which means my child is doing extremely well
The PTA do a great job putting on lots of fun and varied events throughout the year.
RPS takes pride in pastoral care for all the children especially those whom require special needs
Mostly a varied and rich, fun and all encompassing curriculum with breath and balance
Teachers at the school. Some really excellent teachers work at Redbridge
The security around the school
Good communication from school
Teachers are able to teach with the fun approach so the children are learning whilst having funand parents, Excellent teaching –my children have good confidence.
I am delighted with my son’s change in attitude about school. He learned wonderful relationship skills and problem-solving skills
The level of work undertaken in the classroom for y6. My child is happy to showcase her work. Getting students to mark, evaluate and reflect on their work.
Problems especially in English are picked up quickly and measures are put in place to deal with the problems
Gradual involvement method of new child into class and bringing her up to the next level step by step is remarkable
Cut down on paper coming home via groupcall and parent paperwork, emailed newsletters
The range of extra curricular activities
Excellent teaching methods and interesting way of learning. Children are motivated to excel.
The medical team are wonderful and very organised as I have a child with allergy
Management have done very well to keep the school forward on educating the children following difficulties faced with the governing body
School doesn’t just focus on mainstream academic but also supporting the children’s understanding using practical and interactive learning
Amazing extra classes. I love that ** has been a part of Punjabi class, Bollywood classes which have enhanced her confidence
Encouragement of improving social skills and awareness and being respectful to others and their views/situation
We also grateful for the school’s continuous involvements in various extracurricular activities

2018 'Wishes'
Continue the high standard / outstanding level it is at and just continue to excel, making me proud to say my children attend Redbridge Primary
A coding club would be really beneficial for children to focus on analysis and logic because it could be a very basic level
My wish is that school keep maintaining their efforts in the same way
Maintain their amazing teacher standards. In particular recognise and encourage students that are ahead of the class and have separate small groups. This would be my one wish.
Have permanent school head for fantastic future for kids. They need one permanent head for guidance and support
If the school can inform parents re events earlier than its proposed date, e.g. at least 3 weeks earlier
More frequent updates on the child’s progress or concerns via different communication channels other than parent evenings.
Children on scooters and bikes to be monitored before and after school
Too much pressure placed during KS1 sats, children doing continuous practice papers / revision – not helpful – should be easing children into it and continuing with topic based learning. Need to think about child’s stress levels.
Need to improve communication – school – parents. Need to give advance notice prior to any events – not last minute
There were more TA helpers in class to help those who are a bit ‘slow’ in their learning
Would be nice to have one weekend a month where children get no homework but are encouraged to engage in outdoor activities with their family. The children can then discuss / talk about what they did.
More staff to be visible before and after school in the playground
Sports day to be fun for young reception/y1 children to be fun and achieve medals for all children. As my children found it daunting as their groups coming last.
Classes to be mixed after a couple of years. A very good chance for children to prep for senior school.
An air conditioned hall with a stage where all children can be seen when performing.
