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 220,000 pupils since 2021.
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.
