National Education Insights 2025: How Does Your School or Trust Compare?
Every year, Edurio publishes national research reports built on the voices of stakeholders across England. This year, we’re releasing three new reports based on feedback from nearly 400,000 staff, pupils and parents during the 2024/25 academic year, alongside three years of national trend data.
These reports highlight where schools and trusts are making progress, and where challenges remain, from staff retention to pupil wellbeing and parental confidence.

What sector experts say about these findings:
The national report on staff experience from Edurio highlights encouraging signs that retention is improving, but the challenges remain clear. Trust and school leaders can use these findings to focus on the issues staff tell us matter most – workload, feeling valued, and wellbeing.
Addressing these drivers with intent will be crucial if we are to build sustainable teams and keep talented colleagues in our schools.
Sir David Carter
Former National Schools Commissioner for England
The rise in secondary pupils feeling safe is heartening, but we cannot stop there. The Edurio national report is clear: inclusion remains a concern, with only 16% of pupils seeing people like them reflected in the curriculum.
Belonging isn’t just about being present, it’s about being seen, heard and celebrated. That must be central to how we lead our schools.
Evelyn Forde MBE
Former President of the Association of School and College Leaders
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.
John Murphy
Former Chief Executive of Oasis Community Learning
