HOW WE WORK
We offer an online survey tool using a mix of standardised key performance measures as well as tailored questions, specifically designed to provide information relevant to your school.
Each survey generates hundreds of written comments from participants; all are studied carefully by our consultants to add depth, nuance and colour to the detailed statistical analysis.
Our experienced consultants will guide you through each stage of the project, offering expert advice. A final presentation and discussion ensures you gain a full understanding of the information provided and how to use it.
