About the National Parent Survey
The National Parent Survey is the UK’s largest annual parent poll. In 2026, Parentkind commissioned YouGov to survey 6,053 parents of school-age children, gathering insights into what parents are really thinking. We’re proud that our large parent sample gives us strong evidence of parents’ challenges across the UK.
Supported this year by The Times and The Sunday Times, the poll puts the spotlight on a wide range of topical issues, offering anyone with an interest in what parents are thinking an authoritative, up-to-date insight into the views of parents across the UK.
As the voice of parents in education, Parentkind makes the survey findings freely available to give parents a voice in education debates.
