Parent Survey

Parent feedback helps us to understand what we have been doing well and more importantly, to identify what we can do to make Heber even better for the children.

Please see the results of our 2023 Parent Survey below. Our most recent Parent Survey was conducted as part of our Ofsted review for the 2024/2025 academic year, which can be found here: Ofsted Parent View
