Bespoke dashboards, reports and 1:1 support sessions for schools
Following the Autumn 2024 survey, participating schools have now been given their bespoke dashboards and reports to inform school-level action. Alongside the data, schools can book a 1:1 action planning session with colleagues from Anna Freud. We are pleased that 69 of our schools have already taken up this offer! We can’t wait to hear more about the wonderful ways that our schools are acting on their data and co-producing new wellbeing-boosting initiatives with their students.
