Younger pupils may be led through the questions as a teacher reads them out, either as a whole class or in smaller groups. We can send you a PDF to display on a screen.
Please provide pupils with additional needs with the support that you might usually offer. This might include
- additional adult support in the room,
- extra time,
- some extra privacy in a separate room,
- a recorded version of the survey,
- the chance to do the questionnaire in bite-sized chunks,
A helper can 'scribe' for a pupil, at cost of confidentiality. Pupils should be reminded that they don't have to answer every question.
We would be pleased to assist in any way we can by providing split booklets, larger type, MP3 recordings or other support.
The online questionnaire has a 'read-aloud' feature; the voice is computer-generated, but quite agreeable to listen to. We can also adjust the size and background colours of web pages.
We might summarise our goal as:
we would like as many questions completed as possible, by as many pupils as possible, in as much comfort as possible.
Pupil comfort is a factor, and if they have had enough, please give them a break or permission to stop.
