Leadership and Governance Resources

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

Gathering meaningful stakeholder feedback on leadership and governance requires a different kind of question design. You are not asking pupils, parents or staff to pass judgement on your leadership team – you are exploring whether the school has a culture where people feel listened to, valued and confident that decisions are made in their best interests.

Getting this right means moving beyond satisfaction ratings and asking questions that surface genuine experience of culture, communication and trust. This pack gives you everything you need to plan, administer, analyse and act on stakeholder feedback about leadership and governance, 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 – a pupil survey in two versions (emoji scale for younger or less confident pupils; Likert scale for older or more able pupils), a parent survey and a staff survey – all aligned to the 2025 Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit

☑️ A question and statement bank covering strategic vision and communication, leadership culture and trust, pupil voice and involvement, parent partnership and transparency, staff well-being and workload, and accountability and improvement

☑️ A survey analysis template with tally tables, open question theme tables, a summary and next steps section, and an Overall Summary Triangulation table with RAG ratings

☑️ A pre-survey checklist to guide you through each stage of the process, and four survey letter templates for communicating with parents and staff before and after the survey

☑️ A PDF guidance document covering the full survey cycle, and a free worked example to help you interpret and act on your results

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