The Parent Ping daily survey is now closed. Thank you to everyone who supported us, especially all the amazing parents 💙
And that's a wrap! Thank you to our Summer Survey partners: @Parentsguideto @bigchange_ @GoodSchoolsUK @fatherhoodinst @TwinklParents @learnwparents. Most of all thank you to the 1000+ Parent Pingers who answered our questions everyday! Full report here: parentping.co.uk/
4. The return to school. With hindsight, 1/3 of parents said that summer 2021 was better than they had expected it to be. When the kids returned to school 7/10 parents took a start of year photo & 1/4 posted the pic to social media
3. Holidays! Around 8/10 families took a holiday over the summer (mostly in the UK). 1/10 parents reported that their child went on a different holiday to them, and 1/4 single parents rpt their child had a different holiday (maybe with another parent?)
2. What were the adults doing? Many parents (83% of mums & 78% of dads) spent at least some of the school hols supervising their kids. Those with younger kids also faced considerable childcare costs, especially in London
1. What were the kids doing? They were busy! Every week, around 2/3 read a book, 1/2 drew a picture and 1/5 wrote a page of text. There were lots of outings (especially free ones) but also lots of screen time
As it's #SchoolHolidays again, we wanted to let you know about the final piece of research we did this summer... The 2021 Parent Ping Summer ☀️Survey
Results of our final Parent Ping question shows particular impact amongst dads and parents with a child eligible for free school meals

After 14 months, our sister app @ParentPing is closing. Big applause to everyone involved for getting parent voices out during the pandemic. 👏 👏
Over the weekend we closed our parent polling panel, @ParentPing. Started in the pandemic it did an amazing job of putting a window on the world of home schooling and the broader life of children and parents away from school. A few points of info & thanks… 1/6

Replying to @miss_mcinerney @ParentPing
The opportunity to amplify parents' experiences, especially during the early days of the pandemic felt very important to me, so thank you @ParentPing and @KarenWespieser
