1. Ofsted Learner Survey: ‘Learner View’ Monday 28 th January – Friday 15 th February

2. What is ‘Learner View’? Learner View is an online survey questionnaire that gives learners the opportunity to tell the organisation responsible for inspecting colleges (called Ofsted) about their own college. Ofsted takes learners’ views into account when making judgements. Ofsted may use the information to help them make decisions about which colleges to inspect and when.

3. What happens with the survey results? The results will be analysed by Ofsted to help them make judgements about the quality of our provision and how it might be improved. The results will also help the college identify improvements to be included in our development plans.

4. Confidentiality The survey is completely confidential. The college has no access to any individual learner’s responses. The college will only be given the total overall response from all students to each question by Ofsted.

5. What does it cover? You will be asked 8-10 questions. You will be asked to rate your views from strongly agree through to strongly disagree. Please click the answer which most closely fits what you think. There may be two ‘open’ questions for you to include your own comments.

6. Reflect and respond You should consider your experience as a whole rather than just an individual example, including: The support you receive from your teachers and your tutor (plus any support you may receive from learning support assistants, academic mentors or others). Feedback you receive on your work Advice and guidance on your future education or career Support you received in applying to university (advanced Year 2 students)

7. How do I complete the survey? Most students will complete the survey online during tutorials. You will be asked to register; an email with a password will be sent to your email account so you can then login to the survey. Your tutor will give you any support you need, and explain anything you don’t understand.

8. Where will I find the survey? The web address is: http://www.learnerview.ofsted.gov.uk/register Please be as honest (but fair!) as possible.
