The survey, managed by the Schools Health Education Unit (SHEU), has a national reputation for its relevance across a wide range of important health and wellbeing issues.
The survey, which is of immense value to schools in their evaluation of personal wellbeing, also provides data that supports strategic planning for children and young people across Cambridgeshire.
Cambridgeshire Primary subscribers are offered the opportunity to participate in the survey every year. All Year 8s and Year 10’s in Cambridgeshire secondary schools complete the survey every two years.
How do Schools use it?
Each school receives their own report and set of tables that compare their young people’s knowledge, behaviour, views and attitudes with those of young people in Cambridgeshire as a whole.
In addition schools are offered, through the PSHE Service, a range of further guidance, consultancy services and report formats that they may choose to purchase to enrich and develop their use of the survey results.
