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

School Leaders Survey Autumn 2024 – key findings available now

Research for this survey was carried out during October 2024 with respondents representing over 1,650 schools, collectively responsible for nearly 1 million pupils from across all regions of England.

The survey was open during the weeks which marked the conclusion of the Labour government’s first 100 days in office. There’s been a marked shift in the picture painted of school leaders’ views around key government policy areas, from widespread dissatisfaction to a position of neutrality. Responses suggest the sector is still waiting to learn what the government’s education agenda will be and that there’s been no substantial impact on education policy in those first 100 days.

In this survey, we also revisit two key issues for the sector for a more detailed look – Artificial Intelligence and SEND. Both sections will give leaders food for thought when planning their priorities and approaches in 2025.
