Why should you survey
your school's parents?

Why wait for an Ofsted or ISI inspection to get the views of your parents? Regular surveying of your parents can help to discover their views and thoughts and help inform decision making.

Ofsted looks favourably on schools that are proactive in communicating and gathering feedback from all stakeholders in a school – especially the parents.

EVC’s Parental Surveys offer a very cost-effective solution to canvassing opinion – we do all the work for you! 10 minutes of your time is all that is needed to order the survey and create custom questions if required.

We are fully GDPR compliant (see more here) and can have your survey up and running within a day.

Research has proved that a termly survey on different subjects is the ideal way to quickly and accurately gather feedback from your parents.

Quick Accurate Feedback
Our surveys vary from 10-20 questions, should take parents no more than about 3 minutes to answer, and can be completed on a desktop, mobile or tablet device.
Totally Anonymous
Anonymous surveying has been proved to provide more effective, honest and realistic feedback. Decision making can be guided by more genuine opinions.
GDPR Compliant
Our system is GDPR compliant, and hosted in the UK. If you send out the survey via the school’s own communications system, we don’t even need your parents information and therefore, we hold no personal data. We will provide our Data Processing Agreement when you order your first survey.
Branded for the School
We can include the school logo, the school branding colours and a background image of your school to give the survey a professional, more personal touch.

Well researched, effective questions – but adaptable to your school’s needs
All our surveys have been extensively researched with questions to get the best feedback for schools. However, we understand that schools sometimes need to get opinions on topics that matter to them. Therefore, we allow schools to define up to 5 custom questions, and also skip any of the default questions you do not feel are relevant to you.
