Attendance and Behaviour Survey Pack

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

Gathering meaningful feedback on attendance and behaviour from pupils, parents and staff takes more than sending out a form. It requires careful planning, well-designed questions, a structured approach to analysis and a clear process for sharing findings back with your school community.

This pack gives you everything you need to plan, administer, analyse and act on stakeholder feedback about attendance and behaviour, 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 survey templates covering pupils (two versions for different age/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, so you can adapt or extend the surveys to suit your school's context

☑️ 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.

What's in this Attendance and Behaviour Survey Pack?

This pack provides a complete, end-to-end system for gathering, analysing and acting on stakeholder feedback about attendance and behaviour. Every document is aligned to the 2025 Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit, and the survey templates are pre-populated so your team can get started without having to build surveys from scratch.

You'll get:

☑️ Pupil Feedback Survey: Attendance and Behaviour – two versions to suit different age groups and abilities. The first uses a four-point emoji/faces scale with simpler language, suitable for younger pupils or those who may find self-expression more challenging. The second uses a Likert scale (Strongly agree to Strongly disagree) with more developed language. Both versions avoid a neutral midpoint to encourage pupils to express a clear preference, and both include closed questions covering behaviour expectations, attendance, safety, belonging and respect, as well as open questions giving pupils the opportunity to share what the school does well and what could be improved.

☑️ Parent Feedback Survey: Attendance and Behaviour – a 12-question closed survey plus two open questions, using a four-point Likert scale. Questions cover behaviour expectations, attendance communication, safety and well-being, and confidence in the school. Includes guidance on timing, distribution, anonymity and how to aim for a meaningful response rate.

☑️ Staff Feedback Survey: Attendance and Behaviour – 12 closed questions and two open questions, designed to gather professional views on behaviour culture, consistency, attendance systems, leadership support and staff well-being. Includes an optional role field so responses can be grouped by teaching and support staff if useful. Guidance on timing, distribution and how to achieve a meaningful return rate is included.

☑️ Attendance and Behaviour Question and Statement Bank – a broad bank of additional questions and statements across all three stakeholder groups, organised by theme. Useful for adapting the pre-populated surveys to your school's specific priorities, or for planning interviews and informal conversations. Themes include rules and expectations, attendance, feeling safe, respect and belonging, behaviour around school, and staff support and professional development.

☑️ Survey Analysis: Attendance and Behaviour – structured analysis templates for each stakeholder group, each with a closed questions tally table, an open questions theme table and a summary and next steps section. An Overall Summary Triangulation table brings findings from all three groups together and uses a RAG rating system to identify shared strengths, areas of concern and themes where stakeholder responses diverge.

☑️ Pre-Survey Checklist – a step-by-step checklist covering every stage of the survey process, from clarifying your purpose and confirming questions through to closing the survey, analysing responses, feeding back to the community and updating your school improvement plan.

☑️ Survey Letter Templates – four ready-made letter templates: a notification letter to parents and carers, a notification letter to staff, a feedback letter to parents and carers, and a feedback letter to staff. Each is editable and structured to support clear, professional communication throughout the survey process.

☑️ Attendance and Behaviour Stakeholder Feedback and Survey Guidance – an 18-page guidance PDF covering the full survey cycle. It includes advice on why surveys matter, how to choose questions and formats, how to encourage participation, how to analyse results (including how to handle negative feedback constructively) and how to share findings with your school community in a way that drives genuine improvement.

☑️ Worked Example: Analysing and Triangulating Survey Data – a PDF case study built around a realistic school survey scenario on behaviour, bullying and safety. It walks you through the full process of survey preparation, analysis and action planning, with realistic data and commentary so you can see exactly how to interpret results, spot patterns across stakeholder groups and decide what to do next. It can be read straight through as a learning tool or used alongside your own survey data as a reference point – useful for new leaders and experienced ones alike.

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

Who should use this Attendance and Behaviour Survey Pack?

This pack is designed for headteachers, deputy heads and senior leaders who want to gather structured, meaningful feedback on attendance and behaviour from across the school community. It is particularly valuable when you are preparing for inspection, updating your self-evaluation or looking to strengthen your evidence base on attendance and behaviour as part of your school improvement work.

Attendance leads, behaviour leads and pastoral leaders will also find it useful as a focused tool for gathering stakeholder views on attendance barriers, behaviour culture and the consistency of the school's approach. The staff survey includes specific questions about systems, training and leadership support that make it relevant for any leader responsible for staff experience in this area.

For trust executives and school improvement leads working across multiple schools, the structured analysis and triangulation templates make it straightforward to compare findings across settings or to support individual schools in developing a more systematic approach to stakeholder feedback.

How can this pack help school leaders gather meaningful feedback on attendance and behaviour?

This pack helps you tackle the most common challenges leaders face when planning and running stakeholder surveys on attendance and behaviour.

"How do I make sure our surveys give us useful data rather than just opinions?"

The pre-populated survey templates are built around closed questions using a four-point Likert scale that deliberately avoids a neutral midpoint, which means respondents have to express a clear preference. The open questions are positioned to generate the most actionable qualitative data. The Survey Analysis template then helps you tally responses systematically, identify themes and calculate the percentages you need to draw meaningful conclusions.

"How do I compare what pupils, parents and staff are saying?"

The Overall Summary Triangulation table in the Survey Analysis template is designed specifically for this. Once you have completed the analysis for each stakeholder group, you can bring the findings together in one place and use a RAG rating system to identify where views align, where they diverge and where a theme is strong across all three groups. This is the kind of triangulated evidence that inspectors look for under the 2025 Ofsted framework.

"We don't have time to design surveys from scratch – how do we get started quickly?"

The survey templates are pre-populated with carefully considered questions, so you are not starting from a blank page. The Pre-Survey Checklist walks you through every decision you need to make before launching, and the Survey Letter Templates mean your communication to parents and staff is also ready to go. The guidance document covers timing, distribution, anonymity and how to encourage strong response rates.

"What do we do once we have the survey results?"

The Survey Analysis template guides you through tallying closed responses, grouping open question themes and recording agreed next steps. The feedback letter templates then help you share findings back with parents and staff in a clear, professional format. The guidance document also includes a frank and practical section on how to approach negative results constructively – something many leaders find genuinely useful.

"Will this support us for Ofsted?"

Under the 2025 Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit, pupil voice, parent views and staff perspectives are all primary evidence sources when inspectors evaluate attendance, behaviour and wider school culture. Inspectors speak directly to pupils, parents and staff, and they review survey data. Running your own surveys – and keeping completed surveys and analysis on file – means you have ready evidence to hand and can demonstrate that your school listens systematically to its community and acts on what it hears.

Take leadership further...

Attendance and Behaviour Audit Pack (2025)

If you are planning to survey stakeholders about attendance and behaviour, pairing this with the Attendance and Behaviour Audit Pack will give you a much fuller picture. Stakeholder surveys tell you how pupils, parents and staff experience attendance and behaviour in your school but an audit goes further, helping you evaluate your policies, systems and practice against what the evidence says should be in place. Strong surveying is itself a component of a robust audit, and together the two tools provide the kind of rounded, evidence-informed self-evaluation that supports confident leadership and inspection readiness.
