in the spotlight
Used by over 2,500 schools
throughout the UK, our parental,
pupil and staff surveys generate
management data on all of your
school’s activities with the
minimum of fuss, providing you
with a solid baseline for an
effective self-evaluation of your
school in preparation for the
inspection process.
Recommended by both the
NAHT and ASCL, Kirkland Rowell
Surveys help school leadership
teams get the most from their
self-evaluation process. After
completion of your choice of
either online or paper-based
questionnaires, the data is
analysed to produce statistically
reliable reports which monitor the
changing perceptions of parents,
pupils and staff. Findings are
represented in a series of easyto-understand
graphs and tables,
and contain a full evidence
summary for every school’s self
evaluation including:
Kirkland Rowell Surveys: In the
spotlight
Many of the changes currently sweeping through education
are transforming the relationship schools have with parents,
whose thoughts and views have never been more important
in shaping the way schools are run and defining the support
children receive in their learning.
The recently published SEN green paper emphasised the
need for more parental choice in where and how their
children are educated, whether this is in mainstream or
special schools. And the Bew Review of Key Stage 2
assessment called for a wider range of information to be
made available to parents so that they have a deeper
understanding of how their child is progressing in school.
In addition to this, as part of the new Ofsted inspection
framework, parents could be given the power to trigger a
school inspection by voicing their concerns about their
child’s school through the inspectorate’s website.
In light of this, Kirkland Rowell Surveys are an invaluable
tool in providing an accurate snapshot of how a school is
viewed by its stakeholders today and the results provide a
wealth of information that will help ensure the right decisions
are made tomorrow.

With dedicated primary and
secondary versions reflecting the
changing needs and priorities as
the child gets older, the surveys
provide you with a truly affordable
system of self-evaluation that
delivers swift results on all aspects
of your school’s performance – in
a way that empowers your
school, rather than searching for
its failings. Surveys are tailored to
each schools requirements.
“The results of our school’s first
survey have more than lived up to
our expectations. I recognise the
school’s characteristics in the
reported results but I am particularly
pleased to find a number of
measurable observations and
insights which I know will further
accelerate our school improvement
and development. Your product
offers extremely good value for
money. We will certainly be using it
in the future as the benchmark for
our parent consultation process.”
