Details

The parent, pupil and learner panel was set up to provide robust, rapid research on the experiences of parents, pupils and learners on a range of topical education issues.

Department for Education (DfE) recruited a panel of:

  • parents of primary pupils in years 1 to 6
  • parents of secondary pupils in years 7 to 11
  • school pupils in years 7 to 13
  • 16 to 18 learners in further education classroom settings.

The panel were asked questions submitted by policy teams across DfE.

Topics covered in the surveys include:

  • behaviour in school
  • childcare
  • experiences of COVID-19
  • mental health and wellbeing
  • school attendance
  • special educational needs and disability (SEND) support

The findings from the parent and pupil panel omnibus surveys for the previous academic year are also available.
