This survey template helps schools collect feedback from pupils in Years 6 to 10 on selected subjects and the teacher concerned. It covers the overall perception of the subject, content and materials, teaching pace and possible overload, the teacher’s preparation and interaction with pupils, recommendations and open suggestions for improvement.
Table of contents
We use LamaPoll in different areas. Our academy uses it for surveys after online and offline courses, for evaluation, collecting statistical data and further developing the course offering. Compared with our former paper questionnaires, LamaPoll has made this much easier. The tool is also used at schools for feedback from pupils and teachers. We also use LamaPoll for feedback surveys after events and for internal employee surveys.
What is this template for?
The template is suitable for schools and individual teachers wishing to collect structured feedback from pupils on selected subjects and the teacher concerned. The existing version uses Mathematics and Chemistry as examples; follow-up pages are displayed according to the subjects selected.
The questionnaire can be used at the end of a term, school year or teaching period and repeated over time. It shows how pupils perceive the content, materials, teaching pace, individual support and the teacher’s interaction with the class. Open responses provide further detail for practical improvements.
What does the questionnaire cover?
The template combines information about subject choice and year group with evaluations of the subject, the way content is taught and the teacher. It also asks whether pupils would recommend the subject and teacher and invites specific suggestions for improvement.

From template to an effective teaching evaluation
Why pupil feedback on teaching is useful
Adaptation, anonymity and data protection
Adapt the template to the specific school before use. Replace Mr Mustermann, the example subjects Mathematics and Chemistry, and the listed year groups. Also remove the duplicated wording on content, use consistent forms of address and review the response options and routing.
An anonymous survey may be appropriate when individual teachers are being evaluated, as it can help pupils respond openly. However, anonymity should only be promised where the settings, access rights and organisational process genuinely prevent responses from being linked to individuals. In small groups, combinations of subject, year group and open comments may still make pupils indirectly identifiable.
Explain the purpose, deadline, access to results and handling of open responses in advance. Do not collect unnecessary personal data. The template’s legal notice and privacy information must be replaced or reviewed by the school or institution responsible for the survey.
