Your students, parents, staff and alumni can offer invaluable perspectives on your school. We combine education insight with research expertise to design engagement programmes that uncover what matters most. 

We don’t just gather data; we help you understand the story behind it – and turn it into clear, practical actions. 

What’s possible 

  • Gain clarity and confidence in what your stakeholders value 
  • Track wellbeing, engagement and belonging 
  • Understand the impression your school makes, and how well families connect with your story
  • Learn why some families choose you, why others go elsewhere, and why some leave early 
  • Identify improvements before they become issues 
  • Strengthen trust through responsive leadership 
  • Explore how communities might respond to change 

How we help

Stakeholder surveys

Stakeholder Surveys

Research with parents, staff, pupils and alumni — delivering clear, comparable data that highlights strengths and priorities.

Focus groups

Interviews

In-depth interviews and focus groups to explore perceptions and experiences in detail, and uncover the reasons behind the numbers. 

Benchmarking

Sector Benchmarking

Placing your results in context so you can see clearly where you stand and what good practice looks like across the sector.

Reporting

Clear Reporting

Translating your data into clear, practical actions and detailed plans that build trust and strengthen your school community.

Our expertise

Our research specialists design and deliver stakeholder engagement programmes for schools across the UK and internationally. Drawing on backgrounds in education, market research and organisational development, they use a thoughtful mix of methods — from large-scale surveys to in-depth interviews and focus groups. 

This combination gives schools more than data points: it uncovers the stories and perceptions behind the numbers. We translate those insights into practical actions that build trust, strengthen culture and help your school community thrive.
