My colleague Maqsood Sheikh reminded me that the 2009 Audit Commission School Survey is now open for schools to complete on-line...

This national survey captures schools perceptions of services provided locally for children and young people. It is important that we get a good return, as the information from the survey will inform and help develop partnership working with a view to improving our services for children and young people and their families here in Leeds. Last year 45% of Leeds schools (including SILCs and PRUs) responded to the survey and this year we hope to get an even better return. To help with this, every school completing the survey will be entered in to a draw, and will have the chance of winning a member of our Leadership Team for half a day... including Dirk Gilleard, Ros Vahey and me!

The survey will remain open until 15th July 2009. Results will be reported in the autumn term 2009. You can find the survey by going to http://www.audit-commission.gov.uk/schoolsurvey/
Thank you for your help and feedback.
