Every child should have the opportunity to enjoy school and grow into someone curious, confident and capable
You already know a lot about how your school is performing. You have attainment data, attendance figures, behaviour information and inspection outcomes. What’s much harder to see is how school is actually experienced by the people in it.
Do pupils feel that they belong? Do they feel safe, supported and challenged? Do parents see the same school their children experience? Do staff recognise the strengths and problems pupils describe?
Educity is a self-serve survey and reporting platform that helps you answer those questions.
You can hear directly from pupils, parents and carers, and staff, understand their experience through a structured educational framework, and explore the results in reports designed to help you decide what deserves your attention.
Educity Open is our free self-serve platform for schools.
You create your account, set up your school, choose the surveys you want to run and share the survey links yourself. Educity handles the measurement, scoring and reporting behind the scenes. When your surveys close, your results are turned into an interactive Educity report that you can explore online and download as a PDF.
Each school receives three survey credits per academic year, giving you enough to run Pupil Voice, Parent & Carer Voice and Staff Voice once each.
A survey built around what you actually need to understand
Most school surveys tell you whether people agree or disagree with a collection of statements. That can be useful, but it often leaves you with the harder question: what does any of it actually mean?
Educity starts somewhere different. We’ve built a structured framework for understanding educational experience, then designed the surveys around it. That means you aren’t left trying to make sense of dozens of disconnected questions afterwards.
Instead, your results build into a picture of the different things shaping pupils’ experience of school. You can start with the overall picture, then explore where experiences differ, which areas look strongest, and where you may want to ask more questions. Educity gives you better evidence so you can make better decisions on where to focus your efforts.
Experience First
At the heart of Educity is the Educity Lens: the framework we use to define the different parts of educational experience that matter enough to measure.
That matters because the quality of a survey depends on much more than writing questions that sound sensible. You need to know what you’re trying to understand in the first place.
The Lens gives Educity that structure. It lets us move from broad areas of school experience into more specific themes, while keeping the whole picture connected.
The result is a survey that’s been designed as one measurement system that lets you explore the same underlying experience through pupils, parents and carers, and staff.
Three Voices. A Fuller Picture.
There’s no single viewpoint that tells you everything about a school. Pupils experience it directly. Parents and carers see the effect it has on their child. Staff see pupils across lessons and daily school life.
Educity lets you hear from all three. You can run Pupil Voice, Parent & Carer Voice and Staff Voice surveys together to build a rounded picture, or use them separately.
They’re all built from the same framework, you can also see where those perspectives agree and where they don’t.
Give pupils, parents and staff a voice to share their experiences, and have their say in what you change and what you celebrate.
Why Educity Exists
We think educational experience deserves to be understood with the same seriousness as the outcomes schools already measure.
Educity grew from a simple idea: if you want every child to enjoy school and grow into someone curious, confident and capable, you need a better way to understand what their experience is actually like.
Educity Open is where we’re starting, not where we expect Educity to end.
