Executive Summary - Schools Learner Voice

During the inception phase of the programme, many policy leads
emphasised the need to take into account the views of learners
as part of assessments of school improvement and effectiveness.
The aims of this survey were to:

• provide updated learner satisfaction and related measures for
  students in school sixth forms (Years 12 and 13)
  
   
• set a baseline measurement for learner satisfaction and related
  topics for Year 10 and 11 students, with particular reference to
  the 14-19 Learning Pathways agenda.

Separate paper self-completion questionnaires were administered
to students from Years 10 and 11, and from Years 12 and 13.

The broad topic areas covered in both questionnaires were: choice;
quality of teaching; learning pathways; satisfaction with teaching and
satisfaction with the learning experience.

Responses were received from 2,018 students from Years 10 and 11, and 1,783 students from Years 12 and 13.
