The Findings from the Children’s Survey
The results for the children’s survey are presented below. Whilst the questions remained the same, the format for dissemination was left to individual settings: some interviewed one to one, others held whole class discussions and a few employed a floorbook approach.
Once the the working party have finalised the thematic codebook (for the analysis of all three surveys: family, staff & children), the results will also be shown.
