Return to school vs return it to school

We received a letter from the nursery to complete a survey.
It reads as follows:
Dear parents
Please can you complete the attached survey. This is sent on behalf of Leeds City Council.
Please can you return to school by ....
Should it not say "please can you return it(survey) to school.."?
How do we know when to omit "it" or "pronoun" in the given context?
