CPD & Staffing

🔒 New for 2026 and fully aligned to the Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit 2025

The quality of your curriculum and teaching sits at the heart of what Ofsted evaluates but knowing how well it lands with pupils, parents and staff requires more than lesson observations and assessment data. The perspectives of the people experiencing your curriculum every day are a vital part of the picture, and gathering those views well takes careful planning and the right questions.

This pack gives you everything you need to plan, administer, analyse and act on stakeholder feedback about curriculum and teaching, and because the core survey templates come pre-populated with carefully considered questions, you can move from planning to distribution with minimal preparation time.

You'll get:

☑️ Three ready-to-use surveys covering pupils (two versions for different age and ability groups), parents and carers, and staff – each ready-made with closed and open questions aligned to the 2025 Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit

☑️ A question and statement bank with additional prompts across all three stakeholder groups, covering curriculum design and sequencing, teaching quality, challenge and support, reading and language development, assessment, evidence-informed practice and professional collaboration

☑️ A survey analysis template with structured tables for tallying responses, identifying themes and triangulating findings across all three groups

☑️ A pre-survey checklist to help you think through the logistics before you launch and survey letter templates – ready-made notification and feedback letters for parents and staff

☑️ Comprehensive guidance on planning, administering, analysing and sharing survey findings, including how to handle difficult results and a free worked example that helps you learn how to effectively analyse and triangulate survey data

All documents are fully editable so you can adapt them for your school's specific context.
