About the Pupil Experience Survey:
This pupil survey gathers feedback from students about their learning experience and wellbeing. Uncovering pupil perceptions is critical as it strongly correlates with learning outcomes. Additionally, feedback from a pupil survey like this one leads to data-driven decision-making. This can be a key improvement tool for schools and academies.
The Edurio Pupil Experience Survey has been completed by over 230,000 pupils in 2024/25.
School and trust leaders can customise the survey with the topics they are most interested in. This pupil survey is designed for students aged 7 – 18, with age-appropriate questions. It provides national benchmarks, ensures responses are anonymous, and offers translations.
