PRP Survey for Teachers

Thank you for participating in this survey on Performance-Related Pay (PRP) implementation in the education sector.

This survey is specifically tailored for teachers who are subject to performance-related pay mechanisms. If you are a school leader, please complete the school leader-specific Performance-Related Pay survey. If your progression along the pay scales is contingent upon your end-of-term appraisal and annual performance evaluation, or if you have met the necessary criteria to ascend to the upper pay scale, it signifies that your institution operates within a performance-related pay framework. 

In this survey, we aim to gather insights from educators who are directly impacted by these systems, aiming to comprehensively understand the landscape of performance-related pay.

Your feedback will help us understand the impact of PRP on teacher motivation, performance, and student outcomes. Please be assured that all information you provide will be treated confidentially and anonymously, in accordance with ethical guidelines for research involving human participants. 

To ensure your anonymity, we've implemented measures to safeguard your privacy including 'no email address collection' to make a survey that allows to you to remain anonymous. We kindly ask that you refrain from including any information in your free text responses that could personally identify you, such as the name of your school and your position within it.

Additionally, in accordance with regulations concerning special category data, we request that you avoid disclosing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership in the free text boxes.

As a result of our measures to ensure anonymity, you can withdraw with ease up until the point you complete the survey.
