This questionnaire is also

available in Welsh.

Pre-inspection survey: pupils (primary)

Please tell us what you think about your school.

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.

Think about your own experiences and not the experience of your friends. Please be honest.

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 surveys to help us understand what pupils think of schools
across Wales.

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

Estyn inspectors will:

• read your answers
• never tell anyone in your school or anyone else outside of Estyn what you say

The only time we may share information with other people is if we are worried about the safety of
pupils.
