However, these questionnaires can be really useful even when your school is not under inspection so we include them on our platform for your use.

Introduction
Welcome to the staff questionnaire! Your views are important to us and your feedback helps us make changes for the better in our school so we ask that you complete the survey as honestly as possible. This survey should not take long to complete but please read each question carefully.
What this survey measures
This survey is structured around 5 scales.
Overall Scale
This is the primary summary measure of staff sentiment, combining perceptions across all aspects of the school. It reflects the staff's general positivity, satisfaction and overall view of the school's effectiveness, climate, and leadership. A high score indicates a strong and positive working environment across the board.
Sub-scales
Focusing on how staff perceive the safety, conduct, and educational aspirations related to the students. It measures confidence in the school's ability to manage behaviour consistently, deal with bullying effectively, and maintain a culture that is calm, orderly and challenges all pupils to make good progress.
This sub-scale assesses staff perceptions of the school's senior leadership and management team. It measures whether staff feel leaders are effective, well-managed, supportive in matters like behaviour and successful in fostering a trusting climate that encourages professional development, appropriate risk-taking and innovation among teachers.
This sub-scale captures the staff's personal feelings about their role, wellbeing and treatment within the school. It measures elements of job satisfaction, workload management, professional respect, support systems and fairness. A high score indicates staff feel valued, supported and generally enjoy working at the school.
