Population data

Who took part ? Read on ...

We had a very high response from years 10 and 12 . This is opposed to the responses from our previous survey where most of the responses were from years 8 and 9 . This survey was slightly different to the last as for this survey we looked speci cally at 14-18 year olds as opposed to all secondary years in the last survey . We think years 10 and 12 may have responded highest as they are the years that are more uncertain about their future .
A high number of respondents on pupil premium replied , which is brilliant . We have used this data and compared it with young people who aren ' t on pupil premium to check they aren ' t getting a poorer service .
We had a few silly answers to our survey too . Young people wrote swear words , star wars references or skipped answering the question . We cleaned those up .
We also compared and contrasted respondent answers from the following categories :

� � � � �

Diagnosed mental health condition Pupil premium In care or have experiences of being in care Male and female answers Learning dif culty or disability
We do this to check our ndings across different groups were the same AND come up with recommendations where groups are negatively affected .
