Online Attitudinal Questionnaires

"How well are pupils cared for, guided and supported?" (Framework for inspecting schools 2003)

Being a good school is about more than just academic results. Indeed, other aspects of a school's work may well be far more important for the effects it can have on students' lives, and on society as a whole. Everybody agrees that school ethos is important, but how do you measure it? How do your pupils’ experiences, attitudes and backgrounds compare to those of pupils in other schools? 

The Extended MidYIS Attitudinal Questionnaires will help you to answer these questions and meet the relvant requirements set out in the Framework for inspecting schools 2003.

Topics Covered

Three questionnaires are included in the registration fee; the General, Induction and Parental questionnaires.

General Questionnaire

The General questionnaire includes a series of questions relating specifically to the completion of your Self Evaluation Form (SEF) ie bullying, racism, sectarianism, healthy lifestyles.

Other sections include:

• Attitudes to school and study: do your students enjoy and feel happy in school?
• Attitudes and motivation toward subjects: what do your students feel about the classes they take? How does their motivation vary with subject?
• Bullying in school: do your students ever feel threatened or bullied? If so, where?
• Extra-curricular participation: do your students participate in additional clubs, sports or school trips?
• Drug use: how prevalent are cigarettes, alcohol and illegal drugs amongst your students?
• Career aspirations: what expectations do your students have for their future after school? 
• Peer pressure: do your students feel pressure from their friends to behave in anti-social or anti-school ways?
• Socio-economic status: what are the educational levels and occupational status of the parents of your students?
• Cultural capital: what support for learning (books, visits to museums, libraries) is there in your students' homes?  

We recommend that the general questionnaire is taken in term 2 or 3.

The general questionnaire takes about 45 minutes to complete.
