Before undertaking
any major strategic development work it is extremely beneficial for
a school gain an objective assessment of how it is perceived by parents,
pupils, and staff - and where possible, prospective parents. In such
a competitive environment this activity is fast becoming an essential
part of the planning process.
DSD Education is uniquely equipped to identify key issues through
a range of professional and proven research processes. Projects are
managed internally, with fieldwork and data processing organised through
associate specialists. DSD regularly runs a variety of surveys, both
ad hoc and annual, investigating perceptions of, and attitudes to
particular aspects of a school, be it academic or pastoral.
Research techniques used include:
Self-completion
surveys
Telephone surveys
Focus groups
Mystery shopper surveys |
