Capture the full exam season experience through the eyes of pupils and parents
Exam season is one of the most pressured periods in secondary school life. But how well do schools really understand how pupils felt in the lead-up, and whether the support offered actually landed? The Exam Reflections Survey Bundle gives you structured, post-exam feedback from both secondary pupils and their parents – so you can learn from each cohort and build better support for the next one.
Designed to support: Post-exam reviews, wellbeing initiatives, exam preparation strategy, and improved communication with families during high-stakes periods.
What’s included
The bundle contains two survey templates – one for secondary pupils, one for parents – each capturing a distinct perspective on the same exam experience.
| Survey | Focus area | Question bank | Completion time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exam Reflections – Pupils | Preparedness, support received, and overall exam experience | 34 | 10-15 min |
| Exam Reflections – Parents | Observations of readiness, support received, and school communication | 29 | 10-15 min |
These surveys are designed to be run after exams, while the experience is still fresh for both pupils and their families.
Why hearing from both pupils and parents matters
Pupils know how prepared they felt. Parents know what they observed at home. Neither picture alone is complete.
When secondary schools and trusts combine both perspectives after exam season, they can:
- Compare how pupils experienced their own readiness with how parents perceived it from the outside
- Identify where school communication about exam support reached families, and where it didn’t
- Uncover wellbeing pressures that pupils or parents may not have raised directly
- Build a richer evidence base for shaping exam preparation strategies for future year groups
Schools and trusts use exam reflection surveys to:
- Evaluate the effectiveness of exam preparation programmes and revision support
- Identify gaps between pupil experience and parental awareness
- Strengthen wellbeing provision during high-pressure periods
- Improve communication with families around exams and results
- Demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement in supporting exam-year pupils
A focused bundle – no full survey suite required
Ordinarily, access to the Exam Reflections surveys is included within the full Edurio pupil and parent survey suites. This bundle is designed for secondary schools that want targeted post-exam insight without committing to a broader package, giving you access to exactly these two surveys.
FAQs:
Yes, you can slightly adjust the language to reflect your school or trust’s specific policies or terminology. However, note that national benchmarks may not be available for edited questions (depending on the changes) and are not available for custom-made questions.
Yes. All responses are anonymised to encourage honest, constructive feedback.
Both surveys are designed to be run after exams, while the experience is still fresh. We recommend launching them within a few weeks of the exam period ending, before pupils and families move on to results and next steps.
