Search

You can give your views about your child's school if it is a maintained school or an academy (including free schools), or a non-association independent school inspected by Ofsted. 

To search for a school, just enter the name of the school and part of the address (road, city, town or postcode) in the search boxes when you are asked to.

Select your child’s school from the search results.

Questionnaire

There will be 12 questions to answer, for example, ‘My child is happy at this school' with a choice of responses:

• Strongly agree
• Agree
• Disagree
• Strongly disagree
• Don’t know

Use the ‘Next’ button to move to the next question. If you change your mind you can use the ‘Previous’ button to go back.

Once you have completed all 12 questions, click on 'Finish the survey' and the questionnaire is complete.

Alerts

Registered users can sign up to receive an email when the results for a specific provider become publicly available and when there is a change in the number of responses after this. You can choose the frequency of the alerts at set up and by going to your profile.
