What is Parent View?

Parent View is an online questionnaire that allows parents and carers to give their views about their child’s school at any time. It is also the main mechanism for parents to give their views about their child’s school to inspectors at the time of a school inspection.

How Useful is Parent View?

Once a school has a sufficient number of responses from parents/carers, results will be published in percentages in easy-to-understand graphs. They can be viewed by schools, parents and carers and the general public on the Parent View website.

How Secure is Parent View?

We want the information in Parent View to be accurate, reliable and secure. The best way for headteachers to ensure that a representative range of views is shown is to encourage all parents to register on and use Parent View.
