Goal has worked with the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) to develop a new set of attitude and climate measures. Professors David Reynolds, Daniel Muijs and Charles Teddlie, experts in this field, have been involved with the development of the measures.

The attitude measures give an insight into how pupils view themselves while the climate measures indicate how pupils view their school. Both measures enable teachers to take note of ‘pupils’ voice’ and address the ‘personalised learning’ and ‘every child matters’ agendas. Pupils complete an online multiple-choice audit/questionnaire choosing one of; strongly agree; agree; disagree; or strongly disagree, in response to a statement.  Both measures can be completed easily in a single lesson.

When the audit/questionnaire is sent for marking, a comprehensive set of reports are available.  A class report is provided that summarises the responses for each area or construct in the audit/questionnaire. There are two pupil reports, one for the teacher/tutor and a softer version for the pupil.  The pupil reports have brief statements commenting on the pupil’s responses. The pupil reports provide a focus for discussions with individual pupils and parents, as well as bringing to the teacher’s and the school’s attention issues that may need addressing. The reports are clear and attractive in appearance.
