The OxWell 2025 Survey
The survey is for primary school Years 5 and 6 and secondary schools Years 7-13. OxWell aims to better understand the mental health and wellbeing of school students by:
■ Asking about their worries and how they might like to receive support.
■ Providing schools and services with information about what young people want and supporting positive change by providing insights into young people’s lives and experiences.
New OxWell Data Platform: OxHub
Secondary schools, who took part in OxWell 2025, can now access their data online via our new online digital platform OxHub.
Schools will be able to compare their results to the whole OxWell study and other schools (without being able to directly identify which schools these are), and potentially identify areas where pupils most need support.
