Parent view is a new website created by Ofsted to collate parents & carers views of each school. The online facility means that parents can log on at any time and record their views of the school by answering 12 simple questions. These views can be amended at anytime in the future as parents/carers views change.
Parents/carers can also use the website to read the views of other parents of their child’s school or of other schools in the local area. To access Parent View and complete the simple survey click here Would you like to be on the Parent Council?We have spaces in the following classes for a representative:

School Crossing Patrol Vacancy
As most parents will be aware we have been without a crossing patrol on Earlham Grove for almost 18 months. This has a significant impact on children’s journeys to and from school every day. Due to the lack of a safe supervised crossing point, many parents of older children feel the need to accompany their children to school each morning and collect them each afternoon, instead of allowing them to develop their own independence. Because of this more and more parental cars are trying to get as close as possible to the school entrances causing significant congestion problems in the local area. This is perfectly understandable, but the school is doing everything it can to change this situation.
We have recently met with senior and local North Somerset Councillors Ap Rees, Payne, Tucker and Gibbons. All have been supportive of the school community’s position. It has been agreed that the only viable solution is to recruit a new school crossing patrol each morning and afternoon to ensure children and families can cross safely, rather than installing a zebra crossing or warning lights, …etc. The presence of a person in uniform helps to manage car drivers’ unpredictable or dangerous behaviour.
If any parent, grandparent or local resident is interested in the post, full details are available from the town hall (it is a council post) or come into school and talk to our office staff. It is a very rewarding job for anyone who enjoys children and helping families. Full training will be given and the gratitude of the whole school community would be evident!

- Don’t use your car unless absolutely necessary
- If absolutely necessary, park well away from the school entrance and avoid all the congestion
- Pedestrians use the narrow road crossing point to cross Earlham Grove safely not other places
- NEVER stop on the yellow zigzags to drop off or collect your child (however briefly)
- NEVER let your child get out of the car onto the roadside, opening doors onto oncoming traffic
- NEVER use the school car park between 8.00 and 4.30 (Please note: 2 families with disabled parents and taxis for unaccompanied children are allowed to do so)
- Don’t park too close to junctions, blocking private driveways, ….etc.
