Understand the school-home relationship from both sides
A strong partnership between schools and families doesn’t happen by accident – it requires ongoing, honest communication in both directions. The Parental Engagement Survey Bundle helps you understand how that relationship is really working, by capturing the perspectives of both staff and parents in one joined-up package.
One survey asks staff how they experience engagement with parents and carers. The other asks parents how they experience the school’s communication and events. Together, they give you a complete and balanced view of one of the most important relationships in your school community.
Designed to support: Parent engagement strategies, communication improvement, event planning, staff wellbeing, and school-home trust-building.
What’s included
The bundle contains two survey templates, one for staff and one for parents and carers.
| Survey | Respondents | Focus area | Question bank | Completion time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parental Engagement Survey | Staff | Staff perceptions of parental engagement, communication, collaboration and mutual trust | 34 | 10-15 min |
| Events and Communication Survey | Parents | Quality of school communication, interactions with the school, and quality of events | 27 | 10-15 min |
Why hearing from both sides matters
Schools often have a sense of how well they communicate with families – but that picture is incomplete without hearing from families themselves. And parents often have opinions about school communication without knowing what pressures staff are navigating.
By gathering both perspectives together, schools and trusts can:
- Identify where staff and parents are aligned – and where there are gaps in perception
- Understand whether the effort staff put into engagement is landing as intended
- Pinpoint which communication channels or events are working and which aren’t
- Build a more honest, evidence-based foundation for improving school–home relations
Schools and trusts use parent surveys to:
- Diagnose the root causes of low parental engagement, rather than relying on assumptions
- Equip staff with data that validates their efforts – or highlights where extra support is needed
- Improve the quality and accessibility of parent events and communications
- Demonstrate a genuine commitment to listening to families
- Benchmark communication quality against national data to understand how your school compares
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.
We recommend running both surveys within the same term so the data reflects the same period of school life. Comparing how staff describe their engagement efforts with how parents experience communication is where the real insight emerges – surfacing gaps that neither group alone would reveal.
Both surveys include core questions with national benchmarks, allowing you to compare your results both internally and against the broader national picture.
