Evaluation questionnaire
 KL has created 3 questionnaires, one for pupils, one for colleagues and one for the leadership team.  These were agreed in principle with the addition of "other languages" in the language section and some re-arrangements of questions.
•           Jill and Kate will put these questions into Survey Monkey so that they can be completed in partner countries.
•           The survey will be completed so that teachers can complete these with the whole class rather than the pupils as individuals.

•           Colleagues will complete the SurveyMonkey before the meeting in Sweden
