THE DEDICATED EDUCATION MAGAZINE FOR HEAD TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS ACROSS THE UK

Happiest days of their lives?  

The Schools Health Education Unit, based in Exeter since 1977, has just released a major report about the emotional health and wellbeing of young people.  

Headline Findings
ο    Boys had significantly higher self-esteem than girls; this difference becomes more marked as children get older. 
ο    The oldest girls (Year 10, 14-15yo) score less well than all other groups for self-esteem, resilience, worrying (for any topic and multiple topics), satisfaction with life and social confidence.
Trends
ο    Worrying about school-work increased among all groups since 2002, especially among 14-15yo girls.
ο    Self-esteem seems stable or improving in the primary phase, but self-esteem among 14-15 yo girls has declined in the last decade.
Angela Balding, Surveys Manager for SHEU, says:

“We believe there is much support in our figures for the widely-held belief that young people’s emotional wellbeing has declined in recent years, as seen in results for self-esteem, satisfaction, and worries.  
“This decline is found in secondary school pupils rather than primary school pupils, and most strongly in Year 10 females (14-15yo).
