Your school leaders will carry out the questionnaire

Staff surveys and questionnaires are operational tasks, so as a governor you'll want to keep your involvement strategic.

This means you'll work with the senior leadership team (SLT) to:

  • Shape the questions, to make sure you get the information you need
  • Identify strategic priorities based on the results of the survey
  • Account for the success of any new plans or strategies put in place as a result of the survey

Leave the operational aspects to the SLT. This will include:

  • Reporting back to you on how the new initiatives have gone
