NFER's Pupil and Parent Perception Survey Service

NFER’s Pupil and Parent Perception Survey Service

This service provides surveys for use with pupils and parents, offering schools an efficient way to consult effectively. It gathers information on how well schools are progressing with the Every Child Matters (ECM) agenda and provides data for the self-evaluation process based on pupil and parent views. The service has been designed to:

provide impartial results that will help schools as part of their ongoing improvement
help schools undertake the self evaluation process and complete the self-evaluation form (SEF) using the impartial evidence presented in reports
provide data to help prepare for inspection
track effectiveness compared to others in meeting the requirements of the ECM agenda
make the consultation process with pupils and parents less time consuming for schools.

NFER has kept the cost of this service as low as possible - for the 2009/2010 survey prices for the pupil surveys ranged from £210 for an average sized primary school to £550 for an average sized secondary. Costs for a potential 2010/2011 service are currently under review.

Our service for spring and summer surveys are now closed, but we are looking at the possibility of running a termly service in the next academic year. Please contact 01753 637300 or email 3PS@nfer.ac.uk to register your interest.
