Parent, Teacher and Student Satisfaction with the School

Where schools already undertake yearly surveys or studies of parents, students and teachers for the

purpose of marketing and school improvement, it will involve preparing a relevant report, in plain English,

on the findings of those surveys or studies.

If a school does not currently undertake any such studies or surveys, consideration might be given to such

a project; or alternatively, the school should consider any other data or information that it may have which

could be the basis of a report on parent, student and teacher satisfaction. For example, letters and

testimonials from parents; enrolment retention rates over time; increasing enrolments over time, teacher

retention rates over time.
