This printable parent satisfaction survey for schools helps you gather honest feedback from every family, including parents who never open an email or log in to a portal. The survey has 19 questions across three pages and takes about ten minutes to complete at home.
What this survey measures
The survey opens with a few questions about the child, such as grade, time at the school and how they feel about going to school, so you can compare answers across groups. A satisfaction grid then covers the areas parents care about most: communication, the quality of teaching, safety and supervision, facilities, homework, school meals and the opportunities families have to get involved. Two agreement grids go deeper into teaching and learning and into safety and wellbeing, and a communication section asks how informed parents feel, how easy teachers are to reach and what makes it harder to take part in school life. An overall rating and a recommend question give you simple measures to track from term to term, and three open comment boxes capture what the school is doing well and what parents want to see improved.
How to use it on paper
Send the survey home in your child's backpack, hand it out at parent evenings, or leave copies at the front desk with a drop box for returns. Parents fill the checkboxes with a blue or black pen and write short comments in the boxes provided. Collect the completed forms and scan them in batches: PaperSurvey reads the checkbox answers with optical mark recognition and converts the handwritten comments to text automatically, so results appear in your dashboard without any manual data entry.
Customize this template
Add your school logo, reword the statements to match your setting, or add questions about specific year groups, clubs, or transport. Remove any rows you do not need, and the paper layout reflows automatically as you edit so every copy you print stays scannable.
