Parent Survey

We value your input and believe that your voice is essential in helping us create the best possible learning environment for our pupils. We are excited to announce that our parent survey is now available!

This survey provides a valuable opportunity for you to share your thoughts and feedback on your child's experience at Elaine. Your honest opinions will help us understand what we're doing well and identify areas where we can improve. We encourage you to take a few minutes to complete the survey and share your perspective.

Your feedback is incredibly important to us. It helps us make informed decisions about school programs, resources, and initiatives that directly impact your children's education. We want to hear from you – your voice truly matters!

You can access the survey through the following link: Survey link

Alternatively, you can scan the QR code below with your smartphone or tablet (see above)

The survey will be open until Monday 3rd March 5pm.  All responses will be kept confidential and used to help us better serve our pupils and families.

Thank you for your time and participation. We appreciate your partnership in ensuring a successful and enriching educational experience for all our students.

Headteacher's welcome

Welcome 

School Playgroup Equipment fund raising

We're reaching out to share an inspiring story and to invite you to participate! Bob Vincent, a deeply valued member of our school community with a connection spanning nearly four decades, is undertaking a fundraising walk from Sittingbourne to Elaine Primary School on March 5th. His goal? To raise vital funds for much-needed playground equipment for our children.

Bob's dedication to our school and the wider community is truly remarkable. As a veteran and Chairman of the Rochester and Strood branch of the Royal British Legion, he has a long history of charitable work. Now, he's focusing his efforts on benefiting our children, emphasising that "every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference."

We need you! Let's rally behind Bob and show him our support. You can contribute to this wonderful cause by donating through his GoFundMe page: https://gofund.me/3b41fa6b.

And that's not all! Your dedicated PTA is also contributing to this important initiative. We are working alongside Bob to ensure that the funds raised directly benefit our children and enhance their outdoor learning and play experience.

Together, we can make a real difference to the lives of our children. Thank you for your support!
