The My Health, My School survey is a pupil perception survey that asks children and young people (CYP) a number of questions in order to generate vital information on the health and wellbeing of these individuals. They are completed anonymously on-line or using a printed version.
Surveys have been specially designed and tailored for CYP in years 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 & 11, (as well as separate surveys for Post 16 and SEND provisions).
If you are a Torbay School, you can access the My Health My School surveys for FREE until Aug 2024.
