We want a disabled parking space in the car park.	A disabled parking space is available in the staff car park for all of our disabled pupils, parents or staff.
We want before and after school care for our children	Breakfast club is available from 7.45am and after school care is available until 6pm.
We want a defibrillator in school	After fundraising by Friends of St. Andrew's, a defibrillator has been installed on the school grounds which can be used by the whole local community
Homework is difficult. I find the strategies you use difficult to understand	Calculation strategies are available at parent's evenings. Homework books throughout the school model the method your child should use. Examples are also given.
I want to find out more about what my child is doing each term.	Half termly curriculum letters are sent out to parents showing what is being taught in each subject
I want more information about my child's class	We have introduced a welcome meeting at the beginning of each year where parents have the opportunity to meet their child's teacher, see their classroom and discuss the content which will be covered throughout the year
We want a cheaper school uniform provider	We now use both Kershaws and myclothing.com so that parents can have more options.
We want a year 3 & 4 football club	We now have two after school football clubs; one for Years 3 & 4 and one for Years 5 & 6.
