Staff Workload Survey (DfE)
Use this survey as a starting point from the Department for Education to help you understand more about staff workload in school.
Introduction
<p>We would be very grateful if you could complete this short survey about your workload. We will use the responses to review processes in the school and discuss resulting actions to reduce your workload with you. We will also use responses over time to review progress. </p> <p>Unless indicated, the survey does not include any information that could identify you so your answers will all be anonymous. We expect it will take no more than 10 minutes to complete.</p> <p>In the questions that follow, please consider how long you spent on the following activities other than teaching in your most recent full working week, including activities that took place during weekends, evenings or other out of classroom hours. Was the time spent on each activity too little, about right or too much when considering the impact it had on pupil outcomes?</p>
