What is Parent View?

Parent View is an online questionnaire for parents and carers to share their views about their child's school with Ofsted.

Ofsted can use the information collected through the questionnaire to inform decisions about which schools to inspect and when, and to inform discussions with school leaders during an inspection.

When a school is being inspected, Ofsted asks headteachers to invite parents to complete the survey. However, parents can complete the survey at any time, regardless of inspections.
