How MTM Consulting Can Help Schools Meet ISI Inspection Requirements Through Pupil Voice

Among the rigorous evaluations carried out by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) criteria, pupil voice has become increasingly important. Schools are expected to demonstrate not only how they listen to pupils but also how this feedback informs their decision-making and development strategies. 

With over 40 years of expertise in tailored market research and strategic insights, MTM Consulting is uniquely equipped to help schools meet these requirements. Our survey products stand out as the most advanced in the market today, offering unrivalled depth and precision through our unique segmenting and filtering system. No other consultancy matches our ability to deliver comprehensive, actionable insights, ensuring schools have the tools they need to succeed. 

MTM Consulting’s Expertise in Pupil Voice 

MTM Consulting offers a suite of services designed to help schools amplify pupil voice in line with ISI requirements. These include: 

• Tailored Surveys  

MTM designs bespoke surveys to gather feedback from pupils. The questions are carefully crafted to align with ISI inspection themes, such as wellbeing, academic support, extracurricular activities, and diversity. 

• Comprehensive Data Analysis 

Data from surveys and focus groups is analysed to uncover trends, strengths, and areas for improvement. What sets us apart from other survey providers is our ability to filter this information in multiple ways – by year group, age range, gender, and more – allowing for a deep dive into the data to extract the insights that truly matter. Our detailed reports go beyond presenting feedback; they offer clear, actionable recommendations designed to align with inspection requirements and drive meaningful improvements. 

•  Strategic Support 

If the surveys reveal specific issues requiring attention, our strategy team can provide tailored strategic support to address these challenges effectively, ensuring that students’ views are meaningfully incorporated into school policies and improvements. 

Beyond Inspections: Building a Stronger School Community 

While meeting ISI requirements is critical, fostering pupil voice also brings long-term benefits. Schools that actively engage with students see improved wellbeing, stronger student-teacher relationships, and higher levels of trust and satisfaction within the community. MTM Consulting’s expertise not only ensures compliance but also enhances the overall quality and reputation of the school. 

If your school is looking to enhance pupil voice and ensure it meets ISI inspection criteria, exploring how structured feedback can shape a thriving, inclusive, and responsive environment is essential.
