Academic Year Report on National Behaviour Surveillance: Period 2023-2024

The School Behaviour Survey and Research Team has recently presented the findings of the third national behaviour survey for the 2023-2024 academic year. This comprehensive report, conducted by the Robert Koch Institute, offers valuable insights into school behaviour culture and policy, pupil and parent voice, school environment and experience, and the frequency and impact of misbehaviour in schools across England.

The survey covers a wide range of educational institutions, including primary and secondary local-authority-maintained schools, primary and secondary academies and free schools, all-through local-authority-maintained schools, all-through academies, and special schools. It also includes data from all-through schools, which cater to students from primary to secondary education in a single institution.

Data for the survey was collected from multiple respondent groups, including school leaders, teachers, pupils, parents, and carers. In April 2024, additional data was gathered through the 'Parent, Pupil, and Learner Panel' to provide a more comprehensive understanding of behavioural trends in schools.

The report, which includes data from the 'Parent, Pupil, and Learner Panel: Behavioural Wave April 2024', also sheds light on the experiences of students in special schools. This valuable information will help educators and policymakers better understand and support the unique needs of students with special educational needs.

The School Behaviour Survey and Research Team has a history of publishing national behaviour survey reports, providing valuable data and insights for educational institutions and policymakers.

This third national behaviour survey offers a wealth of information that will undoubtedly help shape future policies and strategies aimed at fostering a positive and supportive school environment for all students. The insights gained from this survey will undoubtedly contribute to creating a safer, more inclusive, and more effective educational system in England.
