Dunbar Primary School Pupil Survey

June 2020

Pupil Survey

• We conducted two surveys one for P2 and P3 and the other for P4-P7.

• There were 54 surveys that had full data on submitted on them from P2 and P3.

• There were 236 surveys fully completed in P4 to P7.

• In total 290 surveys were used for the attached tables.

• There were issues with blank surveys (46) and unfinished surveys (38)

• There were surveys that were not submitted.

• Children also made suggestions and comments and the most common ones are on the next few slides.

What do you think the School has done well during this time?Tried to keep to the normal timetable but adding in some other interesting ideas.

They have set some really fun work that me and my family have enjoyed together.

Mrs Murray has done excellent science lessons.

Everyone has been very supportive, like messaging people, opening the hub and just being there altogether.

They did well at this cos its going well so far and you hardly tell anyone off thinking about it.

Lots of time to do each topic. .

MY TEACHER HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD AND HELPS ME IF I NEED IT.

What could the school have done better?

• More google meets

• They could have put up more google meets so we could see our friends more. Also I would’ve liked a bigger range of online and offline activities.

• Making sure everyone can access the website link they give.

• MAKE THE WORK THEY ASSIGN MORE SPREAD OUT.

• I think the school could have included more Music and Creative things to do for school. For example, asking pupils to write a song, poem, creative story, do arts and craft, or bake.

• The school has done fantastic and there is nothing they could do better to support us.

• I think the school did well in making sure all of our work goes up on time.

What suggestions or ideas do you have for when the school returns?• More non-uniform days.

• A long outside chat session for everyone to catch up.

• Washing our hands a little more regularly, but not too because our skin can dry up a little.

• Washing hands a lot more for me would be a good one.

• More outdoor learning.

What do you think teachers and schools can learn from this time?• Even if we are far away from school, we still have a way to learn and

connect.

• IT skills, how to make interesting lessons for children to do at home.

• We would rather be in a classroom, and life would be much easier but we can do it! If we try hard we can make times like these easier, even if it isn’t what we want to do.

• I think teachers and schools can learn from this by being prepared with topics and different work to do if this happens again.

• That making kids sit still in front of a screen doing work isn't a good idea. and how to make better school work online.

What do you think teachers and schools can learn from this time?• I think that we needed at least an hour a day with the teacher

available to help us on zoom/meets.

• How to use Google class better….. a lot better.

• Assigning tasks over Google Classroom does work.

What have you enjoyed Learning while at home?• Spanish, coding, science, baking,

• I have got an understanding of time now because i have been working on this, and also enjoyed spending time learning with my family.

• I have enjoyed learning lessons on science with Mrs Murray.

• Mrs Lyles challenge.

• I enjoyed nature weaving.

• I have enjoyed the very fun science lessons, I have also enjoyed learning in the quiet environment.

What have you enjoyed Learning while at home?• I haven't liked the home learning as I miss school

• I have enjoyed learning outdoors and having more freedom to adapt tasks so that they can fit in with what I’m doing at home.

• science, because me and my mum have been doing experiments at home.

• I’ve learned some new things in Maths.

• still getting to do science experiments.

What have you learned about yourself as a learner?• I need a teacher to keep me enthusiastic.

• I am good at learning new things and I am very smart.

• I need a quiet space.

• It is sometimes fun to learn new things because it is things that I don’t know about.

• I can stick at a task till i get it right.

• That sometimes I can’t finish everything but I can understand tasks and am able to produce good work.

• That I’m a practical learner so i get a bit bored just looking at a screen and not really doing a lot.
