To really engage with your parents, the schools main stakeholders, research has shown that sending out a survey each term (3 per year) each on a different subject is the best way to gather feedback and insights into what your parents want from the school. It is also strongly recommended that you share the results of each survey with parents, as this shows openness to all, and reinforces the effectiveness of the surveys.
Below is listed the current library of surveys we have available. We recommend that the Annual Survey is completed once a year, and after the first year we can provide benchmarks against the previous years results to highlight any improvements or negative changes in parental views.
