1. What has gone well for your child this year and how have you seen them flourish at school?

2. We know that educational visits, outdoor learning, sport and music are highly valued by parents. Has your child taken part in these activities this year and how have they benefitted from them? How do you think we can enhance the wider curriculum offer made by our schools in the coming year?

3. This year, we organised residential visits for Year 3 and 4 at the YHA in Okehampton, Year 5 going to Bristol and Bath and Year 6 going to Heatree. If your child took part in a residential visit this year , what did they gain from the experience and is there anything you would like us to consider for next year?

4. Looking after children's mental health is an important part of our work. Is there anything you would like to add about your experiences of this or any suggestions you would like to make for developing this in the coming year?

5. Finally, how do you think the Exe Valley Federation can develop in the coming year? How can we improve our provision in 2023/4 and how would you like to see it evolve in the future?
