Questionnaire Name
Description

KINDL is a psychometrically acceptable method of measuring quality of life in children. The KINDL consists of six dimensions; Physical wellbeing, emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, family, friends and everyday functioning. This questionnaire was developed with the aim of producing a set of flexible questions which could be answered by children of varying age groups; with this particular version targeting children in key stage 1.

Applies to KS1

The results from the "attitude to reading" survey for primary schools can be invaluable in helping you to drive and encourage autonomous, positive reading engagement across your whole school, where reading for pleasure is embedded into everyday school life. This survey helps you to learn about a pupil's attitude towards reading and can help you understand what your pupils are really thinking and feeling.

Created in partnership with the School Library Association and the National Literacy Trust, this survey captures information about reading habits, perceptions and attitudes; ultimately enabling you to create a measure of a pupil's reading engagement and enjoyment levels. Here are some of the many ways the results of this survey can be used:

  • Insight into reading, helping you form the basis of a whole-school reading strategy
  • Information to help guide "book stock" choices for your school
  • Identify and help pupils that are in need of extra support but maybe don't want to say
  • Results to help you measure the impact and progress of reading interventions
Applies to KS1

The Ofsted pupil questionnaire is great way to get the views and opinions of your pupils about all aspects of school life. This questionnaire is useful way of obtaining an overall picture of how things are going in school as well as highlighting any areas that may have been missed. Note that Ofsted usually supply an online version of the questionnaire for completion during an inspection. However, many schools like to run this survey to gather the views of their staff and pupils, even outside of an inspection window.

This survey can offer your school a fantastic insight into wellbeing across key categories in school, helping you:

  • Prepare for an inspection
  • Take control during an inspection
  • Quickly highlight school-based priorities
  • Collect valuable feedback
  • Showcase great results
Applies to KS1

The PSS-C is helpful for the early identification of children at risk of anxiety/stress. This is important because stress appears to result in increased vulnerability for poorer school outcomes and reduced home functional performance, as well as resulting in problems with overall health, mental health and body weight. An effective and efficient assessment for early identification of anxiety/stress in children assists in the development of appropriate interventions.

Applies to KS1

The development of a healthy eating style and physical fitness regimen in adolescence or adulthood might be contingent on physical self-concept in childhood.

Applies to KS1

The CYRM has been designed as a screening tool to explore the resources (individual, relational, communal and cultural) available to individuals that may bolster their resilience. The measure was designed as part of the International Resilience Project (IRP), of the Resilience Research Centre, in collaboration with 14 communities in 11 countries around the world. This survey should be assigned if the 'Student Resilience Survey' is deemed inappropriate to allocate to your intended year/class.

Description

This exclusive survey has been produced in partnership with online safety specialists Online Safety UK to help schools understand and monitor the online experiences of pupils. The survey measures pupils’ online behaviours and provides teachers with a picture of whether pupils are equipped with the skills they need to navigate their online activities safely. Here are some examples of the things you might do with the results:

  • Pupil-led assembly. Pupils present survey findings in a school assembly, promoting open dialogue and understanding among students, parents, and teachers about online experiences and safety
  • Curriculum enhancement. Use survey insights to enrich the curriculum with targeted lessons on online safety, fostering a proactive approach to responsible online behaviour practices
  • Parent-teacher meetings. Share survey results with teachers to create customised support plans for students, organise workshops for parents based on the findings
Applies to KS2

The Growth Mindset Survey is designed to help you understand your pupils’ thoughts aout learning and intelligence, whether they have a fixed or growth mindset, and whether they believe abilities can be developed through effort and learning. This survey, tailored for schools, aims to collect valuable insights directly from pupils. By exploring their beliefs and attitudes, teachers can gain a deeper understanding of how pupils approach challenges, view their own abilities, and navigate the learning process.

Applies to KS2

The Learning Emotions Math Survey can help schools find out how students feel about math. It asks about specific emotions like relief, shame, enjoyment, anxiety, pride, boredom, hope, and disappointment. By understanding these feelings, teachers can get insights into how students experience math. This helps them teach in ways that support students better, identify areas where students might need more help, and create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for math.

The survey is split into two separate surveys with 24 questions in each.

Applies to KS2

This survey aims to find out more about the reading parents/carers do with their children.

Research has shown how various types of student subjective well-being are related to positive educational outcomes. Student subjective well-being has been shown to correlate positively with achievement (particularly in primary school students) and feeling accepted and fitting in at school (particularly in secondary school students).

The SSWQ is a 16-item measure for assessing subjective wellbeing of pupils in the school environment. It includes 4 key areas of school life and wellbeing looking deeper into school connectedness and belonging, academic efficacy, joy of learning and educational purpose. School connectedness is linked to levels of anxiety and Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)

  • School connectedness is defined as feeling cared for by and relating well to others at school;
  • Academic efficacy is defined as appraising one’s academic behaviours as effectively meeting environmental demands;
  • Joy of learning is defined as experiencing positive emotions and cognitions when engaged in academic tasks;
  • Educational purpose is defined as appraising school and academic tasks as important and meaningful.

Subscale scores can be used as standalone wellbeing indicators or summed to create a Overall Student Wellbeing composite scale.

Applies to KS2

Kidscape and Bounce Together have designed 3 short surveys based on the theme of kindness, to help you measure experiences of kindness within the school community. This survey is for pupils/learners.

Applies to KS2

Given the increased testing of school-aged children, there is a need for a current and valid scale to measure the effects of test anxiety in children. Individuals are involved in three different processes to express test anxiety including their cognition (i.e., worry), behaviour (i.e., task-relevant and task irrelevant actions), and physiology (i.e., emotional arousal). In association with these factors, this survey looks at test anxiety for primary school children in the context of their (1) thoughts; (2) Nervous system reactions; and (3) Off-task behaviours.

Applies to KS2

The scale consists of six subscales aimed at assessing specific types of anxiety: Social Phobia (SP), Panic disorder (PD), agoraphobia (AP), Generalised Anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), Separation anxiety disorder (SAD), and specific phobias (PFI[fear of physical injury]).

Subscales are scored separately to produce scores pertinent to the specific sub-construct, and also added together for an overall anxiety symptoms score. Since its creation, the scale has become a standard questionnaire and its psychometrics have been tested thoroughly in a multitude of studies across several countries.

Applies to KS2

This questionnaire is designed to help you find out more about how and what your pupils read, their views towards reading and how they feel about going to a new school. It aims to give you insight into the reading behaviour of your pupils, which will help you discover how best to support them now and in the future when they start the next phase of their education.

  • Get to know your new pupils
  • Learn more about the reading behaviours and feelings towards reading of your new students
  • Help you effectively plan and tailor your library inductions
  • Support you in planning where to spend your budget
Applies to KS2

The Child Relationship Survey has been developed by the #2 world-leading researcher in the impacts of bullying behaviour, Professor Dieter Wolke. Bullying is a prevalent issue in educational settings on a global scale, with current data identifying that 1 in 3 children report incidences of bullying (World Health Organisation).

This survey not only explores the child’s relationships with their peers but also goes a step further to develop an understanding of the impact of sibling relationships on a child's developmental behaviours. More recently the survey has incorporated the pressing issue of cyberbullying and the negative impact upon victims, highlighting the accessibility that young people have to this media.

The survey drills down to identify the types of bullying that occur within a setting and the number of instances, allowing the formulation of action plans and specific interventions, again adopting a positive proactive approach to dealing with bullying.

Applies to KS2

Sport England run an Active Lives Children and Young People Survey (covering years 1-11), which is published annually and gives a comprehensive view of how people are getting active

This survey covers the key themes included in the Active Lives Children and Young People Survey for levels of activity (during the school day and outside school) and types of activity. This survey can then be used in conjunction with other surveys from the (1) Physical Activity and Behaviours category e.g.Attitudes to Physical Activity; Time spent not being active; School travel mode and parental physical activity practices; Sleeping habits; (2) Perceptions of Self category e.g. Physical Self Perception Profile; and (3) Mental wellbeing category, to draw some key associations and linkages between physical activity and wellbeing

Applies to KS2

In the UK schools influence 40–45% of youngsters waking time, a portion that is only secondary to the time spent in the home. However it is important to understand how many hours a day, including weekends, children spend time being inactive and what are they spending time on being inactive e.g. Using a phone or texting ; Using a games console or other video game device.

Applies to KS2

Self-efficacy is an individuals' confidence in their ability to successfully perform a particular task. Self-efficacy beliefs therefore play a role in maintenance of health behaviours over time. This survey asks key questions such as - I think I can be physically active no matter how busy my day is; I think I can be physically active after school even if my friends want me to do something else; I think I can ask my parent/guardian to get me the equipment I need to be physically active; I think I can be physically active after school even if I could watch TV or play video games instead

Applies to KS2

Food behaviours, attitudes, environments and knowledge are relevant for childhood obesity prevention, as are dietary patterns which promote positive energy balance.

Loughborough University have developed a questionnaire booklet (using previously used/validated questionnaires) for an intervention study on screen-time and diet.

There are 17 questions from this booklet in this survey covering the dietary behaviours of children.

A key focus in school and relationship education, should be on teaching the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, with particular reference to friendships, family relationships, and relationships with other children and with adults.

This survey looks at the engagement of parents in setting discipline and structure in their child's life e.g. My parents set rules for what I can use the computer/tablet for; My parents set rules for the type of sweet/savoury (e.g. crisps, biscuits) snacks I can have

Applies to KS2

A key focus in school and relationship education, should be on teaching the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, with particular reference to friendships, family relationships, and relationships with other children and with adults.

This survey captures a child's feedback on their relationship with their parent/step-parents/carer they have the closest relationship with through a series of scenario's.

For example, Selected parent/step-parents/carer...gives lots of care and attention to me; ...is easy to talk to; ...makes me feel better after I discuss my worries with him/her

It is important young people are given facts and information which will help to raise their awareness of issues around keeping safe whilst they are online and about ensuring that their own behaviour is appropriate and legal. This survey focuses not only on access to devices, social media and websites, but what pupils enjoy doing whilst online and their attitudes and behaviour whilst online.

Applies to KS2

In the UK schools influence 40–45% of youngsters waking time, a portion that is only secondary to the time spent in the home. Schools also provide a unique context for learning when receptiveness and capacity for attitudinal and behavioural modification is probably at its greatest. It is not surprising, therefore, that various attempts have been made in the past to promote children’s health and fitness through the school curriculum

However it is important to understand an activity profile that includes transport to school and parents who provided either more role modelling or logistic support for Physical Activity may also be more likely to facilitate active travel as part of the overall supportive approach to Physical Activity within the household. This survey focuses on school travel mode and parenting practices and modelling of behaviour

Applies to KS2

The linkage between physical activity and obesity and wellbeing are now well documented. However, the impact of physical activity is not just driven by establishing how many children are meeting the Chief Medical Officer’s guidelines of an average of at least 60 minutes per day across the week and how many are less active. Furthermore, physical activity includes a complex set of behaviours that take place in a variety of settings with a wide range of purposes and intentions. It is naïve to see physical activity as a single entity, especially when we are investigating potential solutions to inactivity. We believe that profiles of physical activity that reflect

different elements and settings of physical activity offer a more helpful picture

For example, a child's attitude towards sport and physical activity e.g. the motives and reasons for being active and activity enjoyment is linked to a child's resilience and wellbeing.

This survey covers the key attitudes and motives for a person taking part in sport and physical activity.

Applies to KS2

Sleep is an important contributor to physical and mental health. However, chronic sleep deprivation has become common in adolescents, especially on weekdays.

Indeed there has been a decline of 0.75 min/night/year in sleep duration over the last 100 years, with the greatest rate of decline in sleep occurring

for adolescents and on school days.

Furthermore, insufficient sleep as a possible cause of weight gain and obesity has received considerable attention in the media and scientific literature over the past decade - as lack of sleep impacts on eating and activity behaviors.

This survey covers some key questions compiled by Loughborough University, who have engaged in a body of research looking at the interconnections between sleep, sedentary behaviour, physical activity and diet

Applies to KS2

Adaptability is defined as appropriate cognitive, behavioural, and/or affective adjustment in the face of uncertainty and novelty. Adaptability has a role in predicting academic (motivation, engagement, disengagement) and non-academic (self-esteem, life satisfaction, sense of meaning and purpose, emotional instability) outcomes.

Furthermore, adaptability significantly predicts academic (class participation, school enjoyment, and positive academic intentions—positively; self-handicapping and disengagement—negatively) and non-academic (self-esteem, life satisfaction, and sense of meaning and purpose—positively) outcomes beyond the effects of socio-demographic factors and prior achievement.

The Adaptability Scale comprises nine items, each item reflecting the following criteria: (a) appropriate cognitive, behavioural, or affective adjustment in response to (b) uncertainty and/or novelty that has (c) a purpose or outcome

Applies to KS2

Social-emotional development is increasingly viewed as a central part of schooling in order to help students develop skills that can assist them in navigating the challenges of life.

Part of this social-emotional development involves students being able to effectively navigate adversity and setback, including that which occurs within the academic domain.

Buoyancy refers to an appraisal of one's capacity to deal with a setback Academic buoyancy relates to all students because of the ever-present low-level challenges of everyday academic life.

Social physique anxiety is social psychological variable derived from theories of self presentation and impression management that reflects an individual’s perceived worry or concern with the presentation of the physique in situations in which others are perceived to be evaluating them (Hart, Leary, & Rejeski, 1989; Leary & Kowalski, 1990). Social physique anxiety is important because it has been shown to be related to salient psychological and behavioural factors associated with health.

For example, social physique anxiety is associated with physical self-esteem (Kowalski, Crocker, & Kowalski, 2001), body image (Chad & Spink, 1996), dissatisfaction with appearance and weight (Crawford & Eklund, 1994), eating attitudes (Haase & Prapavessis, 1998) and motivation to avoid of health-related behaviours, such as physical activity. Overall, females are at higher risk to develop social physique anxiety disorders

Applies to KS2

The Children’s Eating Attitude Test (ChEAT) is a modified version of the Eating Attitudes Test. The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) is probably the most widely used standardized measure of symptoms and concerns characteristic of eating disorders. The EAT-26 alone does not however yield a specific diagnosis of an eating disorder.

The EAT has been a particularly useful screening tool to assess "eating disorder risk" in schools and colleges. Screening for eating disorders is based on the assumption that early identification can lead to earlier treatment, thereby reducing serious physical and psychological complications. Many studies have used the EAT-26 as an economical first step in a two-stage screening process.

According to this methodology, individuals who score 20 or more on the test should be interviewed by a qualified professional to determine if they meet the diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder.

Applies to KS2

Self-esteem is an individual's subjective evaluation of their own worth. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs about oneself (for example, "I am unloved", "I am worthy") as well as emotional states, such as triumph, despair, pride, and shame. Many researchers use the term state self esteem to refer to the emotions we are feeling at a point in time, and trait self-esteem to refer to the way people generally feel about themselves.

The State Self Esteem Scale (SSES) a 20-item scale that measures a participant’s self-esteem at a given point in time, and can therefore be measured on a regular basis, recognising the notion that self-esteem is open to momentary changes.

This scale is extensively used in cross-cultural studies in up to 53 different nations. It is a 10-item scale that measures global self-worth by measuring both positive and negative feelings about the self. Low self-esteem is significantly related to depression, suicide ideation, victimisation, delinquency, eating disorders and low happiness. This survey is therefore a highly valued indicator of a student's mental health; allowing staff to identify and, as a result, direct help to any student who registers as having low self-esteem.

Applies to KS2

This survey is a global self-report measure of life satisfaction. It measures a pupil's life satisfaction in five key domains (family, friends, school, self and living environment), with the aim of promoting positive psychological wellbeing. The design enables this survey to be used across a range of ages and ability levels; not only providing an illustration of satisfaction within five specific areas, but also giving a clear overview of more general life satisfaction.

In recent years, researchers have estimated that concerns about body appearance do not only affect females but males as well. The latest research has estimated that the number of boys engaging in weight loss strategies range from 21.5 to 50%: one-third of adolescent boys prefers a thinner body size, and another one-third prefers a larger and more muscular body (Choane & Pope, 2001; Furnhman & Calnan, 1998; McCabe & Ricciardelli, 2001, 2003, 2004).

Moreover, McCabe and Ricciardelli (2005a) indicated that already at the age of eight, boys focus on increasing the size of their muscles and are already receiving messages to achieve this goal. Gender differences are clear: boys focus on the muscular apparatus, while girls focus on weight loss and body image and appearance.

The Body Esteem Scale focuses on 3 areas - (1) Appearance: the general feeling about appearance; (2) Weight: weight satisfaction; (3) Attribution: the evaluation attributed to others about one’s own body and appearance

The Child Relationship Survey has been developed by the #2 world-leading researcher in the impacts of bullying behaviour, Professor Dieter Wolke. Bullying is a prevalent issue in educational settings on a global scale, with current data identifying that 1 in 3 children report incidences of bullying (World Health Organisation).

This survey not only explores the child’s relationships with their peers but also goes a step further to develop an understanding of the impact of sibling relationships on a child's developmental behaviours. More recently the survey has incorporated the pressing issue of cyberbullying and the negative impact upon victims, highlighting the accessibility that young people have to this media.

The survey drills down to identify the types of bullying that occur within a setting and the number of instances, allowing the formulation of action plans and specific interventions, again adopting a positive proactive approach to dealing with bullying.

The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) is probably the most widely used standardized measure of symptoms and concerns characteristic of eating disorders. The EAT-26 alone does not however yield a specific diagnosis of an eating disorder. The EAT has been a particularly useful screening tool to assess "eating disorder risk" in schools and colleges.

Screening for eating disorders is based on the assumption that early identification can lead to earlier treatment, thereby reducing serious physical and psychological complications. Many studies have used the EAT-26 as an economical first step in a two-stage screening process. According to this methodology, individuals who score 20 or more on the test should be interviewed by a qualified professional to determine if they meet the diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder

The Multidimensional Test Anxiety Scale (MTAS) was developed as instrument for measuring test, or examination anxiety (henceforth referred to as test anxiety), in populations of secondary school students aged 11 to 19 years. The 16 items correspond to two cognitive subscales and two affective-physiological subscales.

The MTAS consists of 16 items that ask how students generally feel before, during, or after, tests or examinations. These items are intended to measure relatively stable individual differences in the tendency for students to appraise tests and examinations as a threat and become anxious. A highly test anxious student will show a greater tendency to appraise tests and test-like situations (those situations where one’s performance will be assessed in some way) as threatening and respond with greater anxiety.

The two cognitive subscales are Worry over Failure and Perceived Cognitive Interference (i.e. one’s perception of how anxiety interferes with the cognitive processes required in tests such as memory and concentration). The two affective-physiological subscales are Feelings of Tension and Perceived Physiological Indicators of Anxiety.

Sleep is an important contributor to physical and mental health. However, chronic sleep deprivation has become common in adolescents, especially on weekdays.

Indeed there has been a decline of 0.75 min/night/year in sleep duration over the last 100 years, with the greatest rate of decline in sleep occurring

for adolescents and on school days.

Furthermore, insufficient sleep as a possible cause of weight gain and obesity has received considerable attention in the media and scientific literature over the past decade - as lack of sleep impacts on eating and activity behaviors.

This survey covers some key questions compiled by Loughborough University, who have engaged in a body of research looking at the interconnections between sleep, sedentary behaviour, physical activity and diet

Social physique anxiety is social psychological variable derived from theories of self presentation and impression management that reflects an individual’s perceived worry or concern with the presentation of the physique in situations in which others are perceived to be evaluating them (Hart, Leary, & Rejeski, 1989; Leary & Kowalski, 1990). Social physique anxiety is important because it has been shown to be related to salient psychological and behavioural factors associated with health.

For example, social physique anxiety is associated with physical self-esteem (Kowalski, Crocker, & Kowalski, 2001), body image (Chad & Spink, 1996), dissatisfaction with appearance and weight (Crawford & Eklund, 1994), eating attitudes (Haase & Prapavessis, 1998) and motivation to avoid of health-related behaviours, such as physical activity.

Research has shown how various types of student subjective well-being are related to positive educational outcomes. Student subjective well-being has been shown to correlate positively with achievement (particularly in primary school students) and feeling accepted and fitting in at school (particularly in secondary school students).

The SSWQ is a 16-item measure for assessing subjective wellbeing of pupils in the school environment. It includes 4 key areas of school life and wellbeing looking deeper into school connectedness and belonging, academic efficacy, joy of learning and educational purpose. School connectedness is linked to levels of anxiety and Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)

  • School connectedness is defined as feeling cared for by and relating well to others at school;
  • Academic efficacy is defined as appraising one’s academic behaviours as effectively meeting environmental demands;
  • Joy of learning is defined as experiencing positive emotions and cognitions when engaged in academic tasks;
  • Educational purpose is defined as appraising school and academic tasks as important and meaningful.

Subscale scores can be used as standalone wellbeing indicators or summed to create a Overall Student Wellbeing composite scale.

Emotion dysregulation often emerges early in development and is a core feature of many psychological conditions. The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is a well validated and widely used self-report measure for assessing emotion regulation problems among adolescents and adults. The DERS has six subscales with five to eight items each (36 total).

A substantial body of research has shown significant positive associations between scores on the DERS (specifically the total score) and symptoms of a range of psychological disorders, including borderline personality disorder (Gratz et al., 2006), generalized anxiety disorder (Mennin et al., 2002), substance use disorders (Fox et al., 2007; Gratz and Tull, 2010), social anxiety (Rusch et al., 2012), health anxiety (Bardeen and Fergus, 2014), post-traumatic stress disorder (Ehring and Quack, 2010), and bipolar disorder (Becerra et al., 2013; Van Rheenen et al., 2015).

Being that body image results from a coming together of different factors, the Adolescent Body Image Satisfaction Scale for males (ABISS) helps to identify 3 subscales that attend to how adolescent males perceive their body image.

The first subscale, body competence, helps explain how people may place value in the development of their body from a positive perspective. Closely related to body competence, body inadequacy emerged as the second subscale. For example, feeling ignored, intimidated, and unattractive by other people demonstrates how an adolescent may develop a negative body image.

Other factors, such as feeling insecure and weak, also relate to feeling inadequate relative to a social standard of comparison. Internal conflict was a third subscale that emerged and includes 4 items that capture the balance between an adolescent’s positive and negative perceptions of body image. For example , being critical of one’s body, and seeking reassurance from others concerning appearance

Most children will be looking forward to these changes and recognise them as part of growing up. However, like any change, transition brings a sense of uncertainty, and this can cause children to feel anxious. If transition is not carefully managed, these feelings can have a negative impact on wellbeing, achievement, and attendance.

Social-emotional development is increasingly viewed as a central part of schooling in order to help students develop skills that can assist them in navigating the challenges of life.

Part of this social-emotional development involves students being able to effectively navigate adversity and setback, including that which occurs within the academic domain.

Buoyancy refers to an appraisal of one's capacity to deal with a setback Academic buoyancy relates to all students because of the ever-present low-level challenges of everyday academic life.

The results from the "attitude to reading" survey for primary schools can be invaluable in helping you to drive and encourage autonomous, positive reading engagement across your whole school, where reading for pleasure is embedded into everyday school life. This survey helps you to learn about a pupil's attitude towards reading and can help you understand what your pupils are really thinking and feeling.

Created in partnership with the School Library Association and the National Literacy Trust, this survey captures information about reading habits, perceptions and attitudes; ultimately enabling you to create a measure of a pupil's reading engagement and enjoyment levels. Here are some of the many ways the results of this survey can be used:

  • Insight into reading, helping you form the basis of a whole-school reading strategy
  • Information to help guide "book stock" choices for your school
  • Identify and help pupils that are in need of extra support but maybe don't want to say
  • Results to help you measure the impact and progress of reading interventions

The linkage between physical activity and obesity and wellbeing are now well documented. However, the impact of physical activity is not just driven by establishing how many children are meeting the Chief Medical Officer’s guidelines of an average of at least 60 minutes per day across the week and how many are less active. Furthermore, physical activity includes a complex set of behaviours that take place in a variety of settings with a wide range of purposes and intentions. It is naïve to see physical activity as a single entity, especially when we are investigating potential solutions to inactivity. We believe that profiles of physical activity that reflect

different elements and settings of physical activity offer a more helpful picture

For example, a child's attitude towards sport and physical activity e.g. the motives and reasons for being active and activity enjoyment is linked to a child's resilience and wellbeing.

This survey covers the key attitudes and motives for a person taking part in sport and physical activity.

In recent years, researchers have estimated that concerns about body appearance do not only affect females but males as well. The latest research has estimated that the number of boys engaging in weight loss strategies range from 21.5 to 50%: one-third of adolescent boys prefers a thinner body size, and another one-third prefers a larger and more muscular body (Choane & Pope, 2001; Furnhman & Calnan, 1998; McCabe & Ricciardelli, 2001, 2003, 2004).

Moreover, McCabe and Ricciardelli (2005a) indicated that already at the age of eight, boys focus on increasing the size of their muscles and are already receiving messages to achieve this goal. Gender differences are clear: boys focus on the muscular apparatus, while girls focus on weight loss and body image and appearance.

The Body Esteem Scale focuses on 3 areas - (1) Appearance: the general feeling about appearance; (2) Weight: weight satisfaction; (3) Attribution: the evaluation attributed to others about one’s own body and appearance

Schools also provide a unique context for learning when receptiveness and capacity for attitudinal and behavioural modification is probably at its greatest. It is not surprising, therefore, that various attempts have been made in the past to promote children’s health and fitness through the school curriculum

However it is important to understand an activity profile that includes transport to school and parents who provided either more role modelling or logistic support for Physical Activity may also be more likely to facilitate active travel as part of the overall supportive approach to Physical Activity within the household. This survey focuses on school travel mode and parenting practices and modelling of behaviour

Sleep is an important contributor to physical and mental health. However, chronic sleep deprivation has become common in adolescents, especially on weekdays.

Indeed there has been a decline of 0.75 min/night/year in sleep duration over the last 100 years, with the greatest rate of decline in sleep occurring

for adolescents and on school days.

Furthermore, insufficient sleep as a possible cause of weight gain and obesity has received considerable attention in the media and scientific literature over the past decade - as lack of sleep impacts on eating and activity behaviors.

This survey covers some key questions compiled by Loughborough University, who have engaged in a body of research looking at the interconnections between sleep, sedentary behaviour, physical activity and diet

Social physique anxiety is social psychological variable derived from theories of self presentation and impression management that reflects an individual’s perceived worry or concern with the presentation of the physique in situations in which others are perceived to be evaluating them (Hart, Leary, & Rejeski, 1989; Leary & Kowalski, 1990). Social physique anxiety is important because it has been shown to be related to salient psychological and behavioural factors associated with health.

For example, social physique anxiety is associated with physical self-esteem (Kowalski, Crocker, & Kowalski, 2001), body image (Chad & Spink, 1996), dissatisfaction with appearance and weight (Crawford & Eklund, 1994), eating attitudes (Haase & Prapavessis, 1998) and motivation to avoid of health-related behaviours, such as physical activity. Overall, females are at higher risk to develop social physique anxiety disorders

The Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3) is one of the most commonly used self-report measures of endorsement of Western appearance ideals. This 30-item self-report measure provided four subscales: Information (nine items; e.g., “TV programs are an important source of information about fashion and being attractive”), Pressures (seven items; e.g., “I’ve felt pressure from TV or magazines to lose weight”), Internalization—General (nine items; e.g., “I compare my body to the bodies of TV and movie stars”), and Internalization—Athlete (five items; e.g., “I try to look like sports athletes”). The SATAQ-3 has been used in many populations including adolescents, college students, and community samples.

The scale consists of six subscales aimed at assessing specific types of anxiety: Social Phobia (SP), Panic disorder (PD), agoraphobia (AP), Generalised Anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), Separation anxiety disorder (SAD), and specific phobias (PFI[fear of physical injury]).

Subscales are scored separately to produce scores pertinent to the specific sub-construct, and also added together for an overall anxiety symptoms score. Since its creation, the scale has become a standard questionnaire and its psychometrics have been tested thoroughly in a multitude of studies across several countries.

Self-esteem is an individual's subjective evaluation of their own worth. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs about oneself (for example, "I am unloved", "I am worthy") as well as emotional states, such as triumph, despair, pride, and shame. Many researchers use the term state self esteem to refer to the emotions we are feeling at a point in time, and trait self-esteem to refer to the way people generally feel about themselves.

The State Self Esteem Scale (SSES) a 20-item scale that measures a participant’s self-esteem at a given point in time, and can therefore be measured on a regular basis, recognising the notion that self-esteem is open to momentary changes.

Research has shown how various types of student subjective well-being are related to positive educational outcomes. Student subjective well-being has been shown to correlate positively with achievement (particularly in primary school students) and feeling accepted and fitting in at school (particularly in secondary school students).

The SSWQ is a 16-item measure for assessing subjective wellbeing of pupils in the school environment. It includes 4 key areas of school life and wellbeing looking deeper into school connectedness and belonging, academic efficacy, joy of learning and educational purpose. School connectedness is linked to levels of anxiety and Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)

  • School connectedness is defined as feeling cared for by and relating well to others at school;
  • Academic efficacy is defined as appraising one’s academic behaviours as effectively meeting environmental demands;
  • Joy of learning is defined as experiencing positive emotions and cognitions when engaged in academic tasks;
  • Educational purpose is defined as appraising school and academic tasks as important and meaningful.

Subscale scores can be used as standalone wellbeing indicators or summed to create a Overall Student Wellbeing composite scale.

Adaptability is defined as appropriate cognitive, behavioural, and/or affective adjustment in the face of uncertainty and novelty. Adaptability has a role in predicting academic (motivation, engagement, disengagement) and non-academic (self-esteem, life satisfaction, sense of meaning and purpose, emotional instability) outcomes.

Furthermore, adaptability significantly predicts academic (class participation, school enjoyment, and positive academic intentions—positively; self-handicapping and disengagement—negatively) and non-academic (self-esteem, life satisfaction, and sense of meaning and purpose—positively) outcomes beyond the effects of socio-demographic factors and prior achievement.

The Adaptability Scale comprises nine items, each item reflecting the following criteria: (a) appropriate cognitive, behavioural, or affective adjustment in response to (b) uncertainty and/or novelty that has (c) a purpose or outcome

Emotion dysregulation often emerges early in development and is a core feature of many psychological conditions. The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is a well validated and widely used self-report measure for assessing emotion regulation problems among adolescents and adults. The DERS has six subscales with five to eight items each (36 total).

A substantial body of research has shown significant positive associations between scores on the DERS (specifically the total score) and symptoms of a range of psychological disorders, including borderline personality disorder (Gratz et al., 2006), generalized anxiety disorder (Mennin et al., 2002), substance use disorders (Fox et al., 2007; Gratz and Tull, 2010), social anxiety (Rusch et al., 2012), health anxiety (Bardeen and Fergus, 2014), post-traumatic stress disorder (Ehring and Quack, 2010), and bipolar disorder (Becerra et al., 2013; Van Rheenen et al., 2015).

The DERS short form (DERS-SF) instrument maintains the excellent psychometric properties and retains the total and subscale scores of the original measure with half the items.

Being that body image results from a coming together of different factors, the Adolescent Body Image Satisfaction Scale for males (ABISS) helps to identify 3 subscales that attend to how adolescent males perceive their body image.

The first subscale, body competence, helps explain how people may place value in the development of their body from a positive perspective. Closely related to body competence, body inadequacy emerged as the second subscale. For example, feeling ignored, intimidated, and unattractive by other people demonstrates how an adolescent may develop a negative body image.

Other factors, such as feeling insecure and weak, also relate to feeling inadequate relative to a social standard of comparison. Internal conflict was a third subscale that emerged and includes 4 items that capture the balance between an adolescent’s positive and negative perceptions of body image. For example , being critical of one’s body, and seeking reassurance from others concerning appearance

Description

The HSE Work-related stress scale was developed and tested alongside the Work-related Quality of Life scale (WRQoL scale - also included in the Bounce platform) by Portsmouth University. The survey is recognised by the Department For Education's Staff Wellbeing Charter, a declaration of support for, and set of commitments to, the wellbeing and mental health of everyone working in education.

The survey consists of 35 items that ask about 'working conditions' known to be potential causes of work related stress. It provides feedback on the seven stressor categories included in the UK Health and Safety Executive's Management Standards:

  • Demands - Includes issues like workload, work patterns, and the work environment.
  • Control - How much say the person has in the way they do their work.
  • Support - Includes the encouragement, sponsorship and resources provided by the organisation, line management and colleagues.
  • Relationships - Includes promoting positive working to avoid conflict and dealing with unacceptable behaviour.
  • Role - Whether people understand their role within the organisation and whether the organisation ensures that the person does not have conflicting roles.
  • Change - How organisational change (large or small) is managed and communicated in the organisation.

The Management Standards Approach recommends that the HSE Management Standards Indicator should be used to gather annual feedback. The analysis of results can help school leaders to understand the current situation in their setting. This is a great starting point for working with employees to improve health, well-being and performance.
