HITCHIN GIRLS' SCHOOL Home About Us News Parents Students Sixth Form Student Wellbeing Community Contact Us Parent Feedback HOMEABOUT USPARENT FEEDBACK PARENT FEEDBACK At Hitchin Girls’ School we greatly value the views of both students and parents. Each year we survey all parents to find out their views on the education we provide for their child. The survey contains the same questions as asked by Ofsted via the ‘parent view’ portal. Last year the questions asked by Ofsted changed and the results below reflect these new questions. Unfortunately, because of the unforeseen school closure, due to the national lockdown, we were not able to complete all of the surveys we had planned. However, we did receive 327 completed surveys and so the percentages below still represent a significant proportion of the school population.
