Student voice and surveys

Providing appropriate ways for students to share their views on their experience is a crucial starting point for creating a better education.

Surveys can be a useful tool for gathering the views of our students and looking at trends from year to year.

They often provide a starting point for further conversations and an opportunity to explore topics in more depth.

Beyond collecting data through a large-scale survey, focus groups, workshops and student representation can all help provide context around results and provide rich insights.

Please note that online focus group guidance will be available shortly.
