The winners of the school’s competition have now been identified. Amherst School, Springboard Pre-school and Chevening School Nursery will each receive a cheque for £150 by way of thank you for their help in distributing the Sevenoaks ACE Secondary School survey in July.
Participating schools, nurseries and pre-schools were asked to confirm the number of families at their setting. Respondents who named the schools, nurseries and pre-schools currently attended by their children were entered into the competition, with the highest percentage of responses in each sector winning £150.
Amherst School received the highest response rate or all schools with 29% of families completing the survey, closely followed by Riverhead Infants (28%) and Sevenoaks Primary School (26%).
Chevening School Nursery achieved a 52% response rate followed by Acorns Day Nursery (30%) and The Lodge Nursery School (24%).
Among the pre-schools, Springboard Pre-school had the highest overall response rate with 54% of families completing the survey – the highest across all categories. Followed by the Children’s Workshop (37%) and Bradbourne Park Pre-School (33%).
Sevenoaks ACE would like to thank the 35 schools, nurseries and pre-schools that took part in the competition.
Without these organisations publicising and promoting the survey, the response rate would not have been so high. It is thanks to their support that we have been able to collate some valuable data that we hope will help to inform decisions being made about secondary school provision for the area for the benefit of this community.
