Have your say on healthy, happy schools

A survey of parents, pupils and school staff, to gather feedback on the work and life of schools in the county, begins next week.

Information from the surveys will be fed into national performance reporting, and schools often also incorporate feedback into their annual reports.

Pupils will complete the survey in class next week, while the survey for parents will be made available via www.orkney.gov.uk – parents will be able to either complete the survey online using SurveyMonkey, or in hard copy by downloading and printing out the questionnaire and returning to the freepost address provided on the form.

Parents will also be able to pick up a hard copy from their school or from OIC customer services.
