School Leaders Survey: Sharing insights, emerging opportunities and challenges facing the nation’s schools

We’re inviting you and other leaders of the nation's schools and academies to share your views in our School Leaders Survey.

We capture and share your views on the policy landscape, strategic priorities for schools and trusts explore emerging challenges facing the sector. These topical sections have included Ofsted reform, parental complaints, SEND and the use of AI.

We’re really keen to hear about your experience and to understand how changes across the sector are impacting you, your staff and pupils.

The School Leaders Survey (Summer 2025) is now open! 

We’re keen to hear what leaders of the nation's schools and academies think about emerging policy priorities and explore some of the latest opportunities and challenges for the sector – including schools exclusions and the expected impact of early years funding on pupils’ school readiness. 

We’ve kept it tightly focused and easy to respond so it only takes around ten minutes to complete.

Have your say - complete the survey now

The survey will remain open throughout May, and we’ll share the results with all participants in July. We appreciate your time and look forward to hearing your thoughts.
