Inspection questionnaire for school staff

This is an online version of the OFSTED questionnaire currently in use.

The text below is the rubric from the questionnaire:

You are invited to let us know your views about the school by completing this questionnaire. Completion of the questionnaire is entirely voluntary.

If you decide to complete the questionnaire, please answer each question once. If you are unable to answer a question, please leave it blank. Completed questionnaires will be confidential to the inspectors. You do not need to include your name on the form. We will not disclose your identity, but the inspectors may discuss any issues with the school that you raise in your response.

Inspectors will weigh up responses and, where significant, may refer to them in the published inspection report. If responses are not referred to in the report, it does not mean that the views of the staff have not been considered. Where concerns are raised about child protection, we may have to pass any information we receive to the social services or the police. Please seal your completed questionnaire in an envelope.
