An unprecedented study into the wellbeing of British children is to be conducted across Manchester’s schools, as new research suggests two-thirds of parents believe it should be prioritised over academic attainment.
The Greater Manchester young people’s wellbeing programme will gather data from tens of thousands of young people across 250 secondary schools in the city in an attempt to change their perception as “people who get GCSE results”, according to the programme’s creator.
The first study of its kind in the country, the wellbeing programme will begin this autumn and will seek to ascertain young people’s feelings and concerns as well as their levels of physical activity. The information gathered will be used to help better target resources as children try to recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
New project to understand and improve wellbeing of school pupils in Greater Manchester
Experts from The University of Manchester are set to work with leaders from Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and all of the city-region’s secondary schools on a major new project that will survey children about their wellbeing and preparedness for life beyond school, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This pioneering project – the first in the UK which seeks to cover all secondary schools in a city-region – will ask pupils about aspects of their lives that influence their wellbeing and will provide valuable insights and information for school leaders, charities, businesses and other local actors, and policy-makers to provide appropriate support services and make immediate improvements.

MARYVILLE – The US Patent Office recently issued a patent to Scrambled Gears, a robotics team from St. John Neumann Catholic School in Maryville.
The team invented a hydroelectric generator that is powered by water flowing through a downspout, called the WaterSpark.
It can be used as an emergency power source or in regions with an unreliable electrical grid. The team began creating the invention in 2017 as fifth-graders when competing in the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Lego League.
