Student Voice comprises a range of feedback and survey instruments that get at the needs and thinking of the students.

Student Voice Generic The Student Voice Survey Programme is designed to analyse and describe the current state of a school’s classroom environment. It achieves this through a process that allows students to:

  • prioritise the key characteristics of the classroom environment created by their teachers
  • rate their current classroom experiences on these characteristics
Student Voice creates a baseline for the school and the same questions form the basis for student feedback to teachers. This is a key input, along with Teacher Voice, into senior leadership planning for whole school change.

This survey is on-line, although paper-based options are available in exceptional circumstances if online completion is not feasible. Both versions take about 20 minutes to complete. This survey should be repeated after 12 months as a way of monitoring change at a whole school level.

Student Feedback to individual teachers uses the same question set as used in the whole school programme, in effect giving the learning environment as created in individual classrooms by a given teacher. This is set up so that the school administration or individual teachers can gather ad hoc feedback during the currency of the databases (usually the academic year). Feedback is anonymous by student and confidential to the receiving member of staff. This is a powerful input to a teacher’s self-reflection and development of professional development goals.
