Help us learn more about quiet students’ experiences of secondary schools
You can help if you have been a student at, or worked in any role within, a UK Secondary School.
We’re researching quiet students’ experiences within UK secondary schools, with the aim of collecting enough data to better understand and raise awareness about the challenges that quiet students in schools face, with the intention of helping to create more positive experiences for quieter students.
You can help if you once were (or currently are) a quieter student OR a staff member at a UK Secondary School by filling in a survey below (it doesn’t matter how long ago you were at the school):
Who is leading the research?
The project is led by our brilliant Ellie, volunteer Quiet Connector at our Liskeard Meet Up who has joined us for her summer internship as part of her BSc Psychology at The University of Exeter.
Ellie says: “As a quieter, more introverted student myself who has struggled with social anxiety and peer relationships in school, this is particularly important to me. I want to learn how other students’ experiences are similar or differ from my own, and to understand what helps quieter students to feel comfortable and accepted for who they are.
As a result of completing this research and gaining greater insight into the needs and factors that impact the wellbeing of quieter students, I intend to carry out future research to explore positive interventions to better support quiet students in secondary schools.”
