Ofsted Parent View management information, earlier survey (questions used until November 2025), snapshot as at 1 Sep 2025, submissions 3 September 2024 to 1 September 2025, published 31 Oct 2025, via WhatSchool. Parent View is a self-selecting survey: only parents who choose to respond are counted. The comparison is the unweighted average of 416 special schools with Parent View results in the same earlier survey (each school counts once, not weighted by responses).

Earlier survey: all 14 questions

"Positive" is strongly agree plus agree. Questions 4, 6 and 7 apply only to some parents, so their figures are of the parents they applied to.
