Ofsted is inviting parents and carers to rate their child’s school through a new online survey on the Ofsted website called Parent View. The survey includes 12 questions and asks parents to rank how well the school does in areas like managing behaviour, quality of teaching, tackling bullying and setting homework. Parents are also asked if they would recommend the school to another parent. The results for a school become visible once a small number of surveys are completed. To register to complete a survey, please visit the website.

Tower House Horses are based at Micheldever Station and service a wide catchment area around Winchester, Andover and Basingstoke. Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) gives children, young people and adults the opportunity to engage in learning through participating in therapeutic activities with horses. There is no riding involved and the horses are carefully chosen so that they are safe to handle and be around. EAL has shown proven benefit with a wide range of people, including those with special educational needs, learning difficulties, poor literacy and numeracy, ADHD, autism, behavioural issues or simply a lack of confidence.
The facility is run by a certified EAL Facilitator and is part of a network of centres set up by the Equine Assisted Qualifications organisation. They can also offer learners a qualification and, if they wish, learners can work towards the NOCN Step-Up Award, Certificate or Diploma through the facility’s accreditation with the Open College Network (OCN).
