What are school surveys and consultations?
School surveys and consultations are structured ways for schools to gather views from parents, staff, pupils and governors on matters that affect the school community. They range from parent satisfaction surveys and staff wellbeing checks to formal policy consultations on uniform, behaviour or curriculum changes. Ofsted expects schools to demonstrate that they actively seek, listen to and act on stakeholder feedback. Choice Voting runs the full cycle: survey, analysis, reporting and outcome tracking, producing inspection-ready evidence across the year.
Surveys collect opinions. Evidence changes inspection outcomes.
Every school runs surveys. Very few can show what they did with the results, whether it made a difference, and prove it to an inspector at 48 hours' notice. That is the gap Choice Voting closes.
