Preparing for Ofsted Survey Package

Be Ready for the Call

Gain early visibility into risks, benchmark your schools nationally, and build a solid evidence base before the inspectors arrive.

The Challenge: A Tougher Framework

Trust leaders report that inspections under the new Ofsted framework (November 2025) have become “noticeably tougher,” with inspection teams working through the handbook line by line. Stakeholder voice is also carrying even more weight.

While Ofsted recently updated their staff, pupil, and parent questionnaires, the staff and pupil questionnaires can only be completed during an inspection. This leaves leaders with little time to prepare or address concerns before the results are finalised.

We believe you shouldn’t have to wait for the inspection call to know where you stand.

The Solution: Updated Ofsted-Style Surveys

Edurio have template surveys for staff, pupils, and parents to help schools evaluate their readiness and identify areas for improvement before an inspection.

Unlike the official Ofsted questionnaires, our Ofsted survey suite allows you to:

• Run surveys at any time: Deploy them immediately in the schools that need them most, starting with those closest to inspection.
• Consolidate Insight: Gather feedback from staff, pupils, and parents in one central place.
• Identify Risks Early: Get an early warning of potential inspection pressure points and spot risks before Ofsted arrives.
• Benchmark Nationally: See exactly where you stand by comparing your schools against national data.
• Prove Improvement: Create evidence of improvement over time, rather than relying on a one-off snapshot.

What Trust Leaders Are Saying
