There are of course a number of areas for continued improvement areas:
- Awareness of the breadth of NAE programs (24% stating zero awareness of any NAE program)
- The good news is participation in these programs, especially Global Campus have gone up. We will host Parent Academy sessions about some of the other NAE programs parents should know about.
- Students are able to participate in a range of trips/visits - up 9 points on previous year to 58% but still requires lifting
- We continue to look for ways to extend opportunities to students through Nord Anglia, FOBISIA, and other partners
- provides activities around social purpose 59% (down 4 points on previous year)
- A team of secondary students won an NAE social impact grant and are implementing their program
This year Nord Anglia will launch a series of smaller, more pointed surveys, with the aim of getting feedback more frequently. We will have more information about this later. In addition, the secondary school has already launched the first of a series of feedback opportunities, which will continue throughout the year. I always encourage parents to take advantage of the opportunities to provide feedback. We do incorporate that feedback into our planning.
