About the survey
The Key surveyed school leaders and governors in January and February 2016. The questionnaire for this study was
designed by The Key and conducted online using Survey Monkey. 1,188 school leaders and 979 governors completed the
full survey. The data has been weighted to match the population profile of schools in The Key’s database in terms of region,
school phase and school type. The data described in this summary can therefore be taken to represent the views of school
leaders and governors on The Key’s database, which in turn provides an indication of the opinions of school leaders and
governors in mainstream schools across England.
