Thank you to everyone who has participated in the 2024 School Placement Survey so far and completed one of the questionnaires. The survey is still ongoing, but you can already see a summary of some of the findings in this interim report for participants. The report tells you about the design of the survey and the planned next steps.

On 23 April, members of the Edinburgh Early Phase Partnership had a meeting to discuss your feedback. Some possible actions were talked about, and we also share these with you in the report so that you can see how the survey might influence some important changes.

The University of Edinburgh are delighted to invite head teachers, teachers, local authority officers, mentors and regents to the School Placement Survey presentation on Thursday 13 June 4.00 – 6.00pm at Holyrood Campus, room 5.11 in Charteris Land, please see map attached. Refreshments will be available.

The focus of this meeting is to discuss the findings of a report from work which began in 2023 when the Edinburgh Early Phase Partnership distributed online questionnaires to students on placements, as well as mentors and regents in schools.

The aim was to gather feedback on placement experiences in order to improve conditions for the coming academic year. The primary purpose of the survey is to evaluate ITE placements and improve the experiences and processes within them, across the partnership.

The responses have been analysed and collated in a report and the focus of this meeting is to discuss the findings and what they might mean for the student/mentor experience.
