What
about national data?
|
We put all the results from all the schools
we work with from each calendar year into a hat, give them a
stir, and see what comes out.
We then get some very large samples for some important
aspects of young people's lives. You can buy the
report, of course, but the headlines can be seen on our
website.
These aren't really 'national' figures: they come
from the changing and to some extent accidental sample of
schools taking part in the surveys in any one year.
But the population of schools in our databanks are a
reasonable match to the national sample, our results usually
do match genuinely national samples where we can see an
overlap, and so we might be allowed to hope that they are
fairly representative of the national numbers where we have
no direct comparison.
