Pupil Health & Wellbeing Survey Data Summaries

The My Health My School Survey is a pupil perception survey that helps generate information on the health and wellbeing of pupils in East Sussex. The survey is completed online and anonymously, and schools have instant access to the data with an automatically generated report.

The survey has been developed and used in schools in Leeds over the last 12 years and covers questions on a range of topics including Social, Emotional And Mental Health, Physical Activity, Healthy Eating, Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco, Sexual Health, Identity and School life. Questions are asked at an age appropriate level, and Years 3 and 4 just complete questions about Physical Activity. This is why the numbers completing each question varies.

In terms of GDPR, those completing the survey and their parents/carers are informed that the anonymous data will be collated and shared with East Sussex County Council and its partners.

The survey was first completed by schools during the 2020/21 academic year. Approximately, 3,780 pupils completed the survey from 27 schools. Last year (2021/22), 10,700 pupils completed the survey from 60 schools and colleges.

Participation by schools and pupils is voluntary.
