Parent Experience Report 2026

Be the first to see how parents feel about engagement, communication and trust this year.

Strong relationships with parents shape how well a school improvement plan lands. Anecdotes will not tell you if your engagement strategy is working. Consistent evidence will.

Our annual Parent Experience Report returns this Autumn Term, bringing together feedback from parents and carers across England, giving leaders a clear view of how communication, engagement and trust in schools are experienced today.

This report sits alongside our Staff and Pupil Experience Reports as part of a fuller picture of how connected school communities feel.

  • Reflect on how your current approach compares to national trends
  • Prioritise actions with the greatest impact on building trust with your community
  • Spot areas for improvement early, including safeguarding confidence, communication and inclusion
  • Support strategic decision-making with robust data to share with leadership teams, governors or trustees
  • Tailor your approach for primary and secondary settings within your school, trust or school group

Edurio’s national report highlights both progress and challenges. While more parents feel respected and engaged, a lack of clarity around the trust’s role risks undermining that progress.

As leaders, we have a responsibility to bring parents with us, to make sure the vision, purpose and work of the trust is visible, relatable, and clearly connected to what matters most: their child’s and young person’s success. Partnership and clarity are key and ever more important going forward.
