Reminder: Parent survey - at St Anne's Infants' School, we believe that our school community is strongest when we work together. We know that our families have a wide range of talents, interests, and experiences—and we’d love to learn more about you! 

This short survey is designed to help us understand your jobs, hobbies, skills, and interests, as well as your availability for volunteering. Whether you have a hidden talent, a professional skill, or just a bit of time to spare, we’d love to hear from you. Your input will help us create more meaningful opportunities for parent involvement and enrich the learning experiences of our children.
