Our Kindness Survey (developed in partnership with Kidscape) is a perfect way to celebrate kindness days in and out of school, helping pupils reflect on what kindness means to them and how it’s practiced in their daily interactions. With thoughtfully crafted questions like "What does kindness mean to you?" and "Pupils in my school are kind to those who feel different," the survey encourages students of all ages to explore how they show and receive kindness within the school community.
Why Use This Survey?
The insights you gather can help you understand how different age groups perceive and demonstrate kindness, giving you valuable feedback to foster a more supportive and inclusive environment. From creating vibrant classroom displays to generating word clouds for assemblies or newsletters, the possibilities for sharing and celebrating these insights are endless.
Whether you're looking to spark meaningful conversations or identify areas for improvement, this survey is a powerful tool to promote a culture of empathy and kindness in your school.
Start today and inspire a kinder, more connected school community!
