Survey for primary pupils
My support in school
For children in Years 3 to 6 who get extra help, best run in the summer before support plans are reviewed: help in lessons, break and lunch, a calm place, adults who understand them, and joining in trips and clubs. It brings the child's own view into each review. About 4 minutes to complete.
What respondents read first
We want to know what you think about the help you get at school, so we can make it better for you. It takes about 4 minutes. There are no right or wrong answers. You can skip a question. Nobody will know who said what. We only show answers from groups of 5 or more children. 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.
