About this school survey form

A school survey measures how the whole community experiences the school: teaching and learning, safety and bullying, wellbeing, communication, facilities, food and activities. Running the same survey every year shows whether changes are working.

The first question records who is answering, so one form serves students, parents and staff, and you can compare their views.

What’s on the school survey form

The template has 3 sections and 11 questions. Every one can be renamed, moved or deleted.

  • About you: I am a (choose one: Student, Parent or guardian, Teacher, Other staff); Class / grade (students)
  • Your experience: I feel safe at school. (rated Strongly disagree to Strongly agree); Bullying is dealt with well. (rated Strongly disagree to Strongly agree); Teaching is good. (rated Strongly disagree to Strongly agree); There are enough clubs and activities. (rated Strongly disagree to Strongly agree); The buildings and grounds are clean and well kept. (rated Strongly disagree to Strongly agree); Communication from school is clear. (rated Strongly disagree to Strongly agree); Students are treated fairly. (rated Strongly disagree to Strongly agree)
  • Comments: What is the best thing about our school?; What should we improve first?

Tips

  • Give students time in class to complete it.
  • Keep it anonymous, especially questions about safety and bullying.
  • Present results to staff, students and families with clear actions.

Four ways to save it

A fillable PDF has typing boxes, tick boxes and choices built in. A printable PDF gives clean boxes and writing lines for pen and paper. The Word file can be edited further, and the HTML code adds the same questions to a website. Browse more form templates, or design a completely different layout in the custom form builder.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a school survey run?

Once a year is common, at the same point each year so results are comparable.

How do I analyse the results?

Enter answers into a spreadsheet and calculate the percentage agreeing with each statement, split by students, parents and staff.

Can I change the questions on the school survey form?

Yes. Rename any question, change its answer type (short answer, tick boxes, rating, table and more), move it, or delete it. You can also add whole new sections.

Is anything I type sent to a server?

No. The editor runs in your browser and builds the file on your device. Atifo has no server that could receive your form or the answers on it.

Can people fill in this school survey form on a phone?

Yes. Choose “Fillable PDF” and send the file. It opens in the Files or Drive app on Android, Files on iPhone, and any browser on a computer, where people can type their answers and save the result.
