Safeguarding and keeping children safe is our top priority.
We always review our performance and highly value feedback from our stakeholders; pupils, parents, governors and the community. We ask parents for feedback three times per year.
“Pupils thrive in this friendly village school.”
"Pupils are enthusiastic to learn and they develop positive attitudes."
"Pupils like everything about their school, including the many clubs that take place outside of the school day."
"Pupils find the topics they study interesting, especially when visits and events help bring learning to life."
"Staff put pupils’ well-being above all else."
"Because pupils know that the staff want them to succeed, they try hard."
“Classrooms are busy places where everyone behaves well and works hard to do their very best.”
"The school’s strong focus on pupils’ personal development ensures that they become confident and thoughtful individuals."
"Pupils like the fact that they know everyone in the school so well."
"Pupils of all ages play together cooperatively."
"Pupils say that the adults in school keep them safe."

Two comments about packed lunch as opposed to puddings with hot dinners.
Action: We have just reviewed and planned the menu for Autumn. Please could parents email in comments about their thoughts about moving to only yoghurt and fruit for puddings for January 2020 by end of Summer Term. Please note this will not produce a reduction in the costs of school dinners for Key Stage 2.
Comment about children in Key Stage 2 not having enough time to finish eating.
Action: Children have the opportunities to have longer if they wish. Daily monitoring shows that the older children eat their packed lunches and hot dinners. Further monitoring will be carried out and we will ensure any individuals can stay in and finish.
Comments include: "would like jacket potatoes", "lots of varied choice", "good choice throughout the week", "not so keen on all frozen" and "great selection".
Comments include: "lovely photos", "looks good", "good, brief looks", "it looks informative and easy to use", "brilliant", "fantastic - changes came in just the right time", "excellent", "like the new photos which showcase children", "website is very good with up to date news and activities" and "website is really nice and clean and works great on mobile devices".

“We hope that your children enjoyed their visit to the Museum of Natural History today. This is just an email to say that it was a delight to have Shenington in the Museum as the children behaved beautifully. Museum staff commented on how receptive, polite and considerate the children were during their visit. I just wanted to pass on our thanks.” – Oxford Museum of Natural History
