Can I take part if I can only commit a small amount of time?

That’s OK!
The absolute bare minimum commitment is to supply school absence data until the end of Term 4 and to complete the School Profile. This is a questionnaire about your school which will be completed during the project. It contains information about the number of pupils at your school, the geographic area, the percentage of children in receipt of free school meals, teacher numbers and similar information. This information is necessary to ensure our findings are rigorous enough to be published.

Data will be submitted to the project via a secure online website by school pupils who will be overseen by their teachers.
