Every Child Matters SurveyKey Findings – Y10 Pupils in receipt of Free School Meals • Those eligible for FSM were more likely to consider themselves to have a disability/learning difficulty. • They are less likely to consider themselves healthy • More FSM pupils than non FSM pupils said they feel sad or depressed either most or some of the time. • Fewer FSM pupils take part in physical activity most days compared with non-FSM pupils. (24% FSM, compared to 44% non FSM). Similarly, a higher proportion of FSM children (24%) responded that they never took part in physical activity, compared to non-FSM children (10%). • There are also differences in where these activities take place. A larger proportion of non FSM pupils take part in activities at clubs and at school compared to FSM. Similarly FSM pupils are more likely to do physical activity on their own. • A big split between FSM and Non FSM pupils and post 16 plans • However… • FSM pupils are more likely to feel positive about the future (in line with 2011) and compared to non FSM are more likely to enjoy learning and always like being at school
Every Child Matters Survey Key Findings – Bullying • 30% of Y2’s, 33% of Y5’s, 31% of Y7’s and 38% of Y10’s stated they had been bullied at school. These figures have been stable for last few years. • Questions tweaked in 2012 as year on year children report being bullied at school, In 2012 added q. about whether the school had dealt with it well. Only 17% of Y10’s said school had dealt with it very well. • Most common form of bullying is verbal across all year groups. • Further analysis of Y10 data found that those who stated they had a learning difficulty/disability are more likely to have been bullied (65% compared to 33%) • Children who report having been bullied are less likely to say they are doing well at school. • Looking again at FSM – a higher proportion of FSM Y10 pupils claim they have been bullied (43% compared to 36% non-FSM) Interestingly many national studies suggest there is no link between relative poverty and bullying. • Children who identify themselves as being carers are also more likely to have been bullied.
Every Child Matters Survey Key Findings - Health • Breakfast - numbers who say they ‘always’ eat breakfast varies across year groups: Y2:83%, Y5:72%, Y7:53%. Y10:59% • Exercise - 89% of Y2s like doing sport or exercise while 67% of Y5s, 68% of Y7s and 41% of Y10s do some exercise ‘most days’. • In depth analysis of Y10 data showed that those who do physical exercise most often have more positive scores on most other measures, e.g. do better at school, feel happier, are less likely to be involved in negative risk-taking behaviours and are less likely to be bullied. • Body Image – new for 2012 - 60% of Y5s, 54% of Y7s and 45% of Y10s feel happy with the way they look ‘most of the time’. Girls are less likely to feel happy with the way they look than boys (Girls:24% Boys:64% - Results for Y10) • Emotional Health - The number of Y10s saying they feel sad or depressed ‘most of the time’ was higher in 2012 (2011:9% 2012:14%). Also, a lower number said they would know where to go for help or support to deal with their feelings (2011:64% 2012:51%).N.B. In 2011, the statement was very sad or depressed which would probably have influenced the way respondents answered. Worryingly only 42% of Y10s said they would ask for help or support with their feelings if they needed it. • Sleep - Only 59% of Y5s and 47% of Y7s think they get enough sleep ‘most of the time’ on school nights. The NHS recommended amount of sleep for 14 and 15 year olds is 9 hours but only 27% of this age group said they achieve this ‘most of the time’. This is also reflected in the 2011 findings.
Every Child Matters SurveyKey Findings – Health Behaviours • Sexual Health - Numbers of Y10s saying they have sex were similar in 2011 and 2012. (2011:25% 2012:24%) • The numbers of sexually active young people saying they always use a condom were also similar (2011:51% 2012:48%). In 2012, an additional question was asked to those who said they do not always use a condom: ‘Do you use any other form of contraception?’ Only 39% of this group said they did use another form of contraception. • 71% would know where to get information about sexual health, e.g. contraception, sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy. (77% in 2011) • Smoking, drinking, drugs- Figures were similar in 2011 and 2012. Table below shows percentages that do these things ‘most days’ (Y10): • 35% of Y10s said they had been offered illegal drugs. • 4% of children in Y5 and 6% in Y7 said they had tried smoking cigarettes. .
Every Child Matters Survey Next Steps • All school who take part in the survey receive an individual school report, many develop action plans based on their own findings. • Key findings taken forward with parents – challenge to us as to how we do this. This started at the Parents’ Conference with findings being shared. • Findings from ECM and SPS are being used to inform the CWLB policy reviews. This is already underway and being used to inform the DCS reviews on bullying and E- Safety, FSM and LAC. • Findings are being taken into the Children’s Health Programme. • Developing an action plan to enable us to gather evidence of how the findings are used and track impact on service design and children and families.
