Omnibus Survey of School Teachers and Leaders

Expressions of interest are sought to deliver a bi-annual omnibus survey of school teachers and leaders for the Department of Education. The survey sample will need to cover maintained schools in England at both primary and secondary level. We will require a nationally representative sample, of sufficient size to allow sub-group analysis of, as an absolute minimum; school teachers/school leaders, primary/secondary but also if possible of free school meal eligibility, region and respondent gender. Bidders are encouraged to propose their own method for conducting the surveys (e.g. online, telephone, postal, mixed methods etc.), based on their proven expertise on what would be most effective at achieving good response rates, accuracy, and good value for money. The questions asked in each phase of data collection will vary according to the Department's research interests. These will include a mix of new questions, and previously asked questions being repeated to enable time-series analysis. It is anticipated that the first wave of fieldwork would take place in November 2017 and the second in May 2018. The Department will publish the results as official statistics.
