At the University of Bath, our Connected Belonging team have developed an anonymous online survey to help schools gain insights into the sense of connection and belonging different groups of their pupils experience. This helps inform schools’ wellbeing strategies by giving them valuable data to guide their decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to ESRC IAA Funding from the University of Bath, we are inviting Primary and Secondary schools to take part in our Connected Belonging Survey. The opportunity is open until mid December 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schools who take part receive an insight report giving feedback about their students’ responses. This shows areas of strength and weakness for different social groups (e.g. PP\/FSM, SEND, ESL, gender etc). They also receive an Amazon voucher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking part for a Primary School involves entering a cohort of c.60 students from years 4, 5 and\/or 6 to complete the survey and sending anonymised cohort data (PP\/FSM, SEND, ESL status) for those students via a spreadsheet we supply. Primary Schools will receive a \u00a3100 voucher with their insight report<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondary Schools who take part enter a cohort of 150 students from any year group and send anonymised cohort data (PP\/FSM, SEND, ESL status) for them via the spreadsheet we supply. These schools will received a \u00a3150 voucher with their insight report<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spreadsheet allocates each student a unique number that they enter into the survey to access the questions. This allows us to connect the students’ answers to their demographic data while retaining their anonymity and privacy.
