Survey for primary pupils
Moving up survey for Year 6
For Year 6 children in the summer term before they start secondary school: knowing what will happen, feeling ready, worries and excitement, and who to talk to. About 3 minutes to complete.
What respondents read first
We want to know how you feel about moving up to secondary school, so we can help you get ready. It takes about 3 minutes. This is not a test. There are no right or wrong answers. You can skip a question if you want to. Your teachers will not see who said what. If you write something that makes us worried about you or another child, a grown-up whose job is to keep children safe (the safeguarding lead) will read it. They will not know it was you, so they cannot come and find you. If you need help, tell a grown-up you trust, like your teacher.
How anonymity works in this survey
- The school cannot see who answered. Nothing is reported until 10 people have answered.
- A group, such as one role or one year group, is shown only when 5 or more people in it have answered. Smaller groups are hidden.
- An answer chosen by fewer than 5 people is hidden, along with enough others that it cannot be worked out by subtraction.
- Written comments appear only once 10 people have answered.
