Inspection Questionnaire Category: Questionnaires - maintained schools


Please tell us what you think about your school. Think about your own experiences and not the experience of your friends. 

Read each sentence and tick the box that fits with what you think. There are no right or wrong answers. For some questions, you will be able to explain why you have chosen that answer if you want to.

Please answer honestly. 

We care about your views. We will read your answers and use them to find out more about the school. We may also use these questionnaires to help us understand what pupils think of schools across Wales.

The questionnaire is anonymous. We don’t ask for your name. This means that your answers are secret.

Estyn inspectors will:

  • Read your answers
  • Only tell other people what you have said if they are worried about your safety or another pupil’s safety.

If you are worried about anything at school, it is important that you speak to an adult at school or at home.

Your answers will be stored securely on our databases in line with our data retention policy.
