Community Soundings briefing
Community Soundings report
The interim reports, which are being released in stages from October 2007, include the 30 research surveys commissioned from external consultants together with reports on the Review’s two main consultation exercises: the community soundings (87 witness sessions with teachers, heads, parents, children and a wide range of community representatives, held in different parts of the country during 2007) and the submissions received from large numbers of organisations and individuals in response to the invitation issued when the Review was launched in October 2006. (Please note that minor amendments may be made to the electronic version of reports after the hard copies have been printed)
Please continue to check this website and the press for updates of releases.
Click here to ask to be informed by the Primary Review when further reports are released.
We want these interim reports both to provide information and to provoke discussion which can be fed back into the Review. We would therefore be glad to hear what you think about the issues raised. Please contact the Review's Administrator with your views on these reports. We stress that these reports are interim rather than final, and that they arise from some but not all of the Review’s various strands of evidence.
