Amplify Parent and Carer Survey

Please find below a link to this year's parents and carers survey. You will be able to add your responses to the survey until Monday 29th June at 9.00am. 

The form asks you about your experience of your child's education. The responses are treated anonymously and confidentially to identify what we are doing well and what we can do better. If you have more than one child at school, you only need to complete the survey once. This survey is administered by our wider trust and is the same across all of our schools. It is used to inform decision making in our school and so the more responses we receive the more useful the survey is to us. 

The link for the survey is here: Parent and Carer Survey

Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer these questions.

Reviving East Street, (from the Avon Wildlife news/ BS3 wildlife group)

Local community groups, businesses and Bristol City Council are looking at ways of reviving East Street.    One way is to add more greenery to both the street itself and the nearby green spaces, thus making it a pleasanter destination for shopping, meeting friends and just hanging out. And more wildlife friendly? There will be a discussion about next steps on Thursday, 9 July from 6.30 to 8pm at Windmill Hill City Farm (John James Room). 

Helping Hedgehogs

Isabella Clark is a researcher based at the University of Reading currently recruiting volunteers across the UK for a citizen science project investigating how urban hedgehogs may be exposed to rodenticides (rat poison) in gardens.    One potential route of exposure involves hedgehogs occurring in the same gardens as rats and mice, where rodenticides may be used to treat infestations.    As a result, hedgehogs in these areas may be more likely to encounter these toxins.

Isabella is looking for volunteers with access to a garden and a motion-activated wildlife or security camera.    Participants will be asked to monitor a leaking tin of sardines in their garden for 1–2 weeks.    No prior experience is required, and full instructions will be provided.

The findings from this project may help improve understanding of the risks rodenticides pose to urban hedgehogs and inform more wildlife-friendly pest control practices.

The project is planned to begin in July 2026, with additional surveys taking place in winter 2026/2027. For more information and to apply, please visit:
