The School Survey 2024: Children's Commissioner
Date: 17 Oct 2024
You will have seen across the press and media, that the Children’s Commissioner, Dame Rachel de Souza, has used statutory powers to ask all schools and colleges to complete a survey about the support they give pupils and the barriers school leaders face. This survey asks about the provision and barriers to supporting pupils in your settings.
The survey will run until 20 December, and is aimed to “better understand the role schools play in children’s development”. It will help to shape recommendations to the government.
For example, schools will be asked whether they provide breakfast clubs, food banks or wrap-around childcare, and who pays for such provision.
The link to the survey can be found below. It is an ideal opportunity to reflect the real support settings offer children and also explore the barriers you face.
