What this survey measures
This survey is structured around 7 scales.
Overall Scale
Overall Life Satisfaction helps schools understand how young people feel about their lives, both at school and at home, measuring a young person's overall happiness and health-related quality of life. The score is based on six areas: how they feel physically, their emotions, self-esteem, family life, friendships, and their daily life at school. A higher score means a higher quality of life, which gives schools a complete picture of a student's well-being across those different areas.
Sub-scales
Here we are measuring how young people are feeling physically day to day, including their energy levels, strength, and how often they experience things like tiredness or minor illnesses.
Emotional Wellbeing reflects on young people's overall mood and emotional state, capturing both positive feelings and experiences of worries, sadness, or other negative emotions.
Here we are looking at a young person's feelings of self-worth and confidence. Assessing on how they feel about themselves, their abilities, and their value as a person.
Here we cover young people’s saticfaction on their relationships at home, including how well they get along with parents and how supported, understood, and connected they feel to their family.
In this area we are looking at peer relationships, such as whether pupils feel accepted, included, and supported by their friends. Understanding about playing together, getting along well, being liked, and if they feel different from other children.
Here we investigate pupils' feelings about school, including their motivation for learning, relationships with teachers, and how well they feel they are managing day-to-day school life.
