School Stakeholder Survey Pack
Thinking of conducting surveys to support school improvement and aid you and your team in leading change? Whether you’re hoping to gather feedback about a particular area of your school, aiming for an overall summary or unsure where to begin, this School Stakeholder Survey Pack can support you throughout the process.
What?
A comprehensive guidance pack with accompanying templates to help you design and administer surveys, audit your provision, assess the wellbeing of your staff and pupils and interpret your findings with clear direction and purpose.
Also included is a step-by-step data-focussed worked example on a real-life stakeholder survey around behaviour, bullying and pupil safety. Use it to upskill yourself and your team and be sure to run through the type of questions Ofsted will ask parents, staff and pupils so you can triangulate all of the evidence and aid your school improvement journey.
Who?
Headteachers, deputy headteachers, assistant headteachers and members of the senior leadership team wishing to develop their understanding of planning, preparing, administering and analysing feedback and data. This is also a highly useful opportunity to support professional development for middle leaders who may wish to utilise this pack to survey their areas of responsibility.
How long?
Utilise this pack and the accompanying templates at your own pace, or share it among your senior leadership team. We’ve split the pack into digestible chunks with you in mind.
When?
Start as soon as you’ve downloaded the pack or at any time to suit your school demands and workload. This pack runs through optimum points in the year to conduct a survey with some of the pros and cons to consider when determining the time frame for your setting.
This pack is also particularly useful for staff members wishing to feel prepared for an Ofsted inspection or wondering what parents, pupils and staff may be asked about the school.
Why?Gathering and analysing feedback from all school stakeholders is essential to ensuring you and your team continue to provide the best possible offer for your school community. This pack will guide you through what surveys are, why they’re important and how you can utilise the feedback to aid school improvement.
