The survey was conducted to provide quality baseline data on the distribution of educational outcomes and indicators of wellbeing among Year 4 and Year 7 children, particularly in schools that have low educational attainment and are located in deprived areas in Northern Ireland. <br> Participants completed questionnaires assessing physical and psychological well-being, social acceptance, peer relationships, school environment, self-esteem, enjoyment of education and aspirations for the future. Key Stage Maths and English scores were also captured.<br> The survey aimed to determine how these outcomes relate together and what socio-demographic variables might be associated with these and identify levels of need in relation to the outcomes in order to aid Barnardo's in deciding where best to target their intervention. 2008-032008-05 United Kingdom Northern Ireland Individual Year 4 and Year 7 pupils in Northern Ireland Probability: Stratified.<br> All primary schools in Northern Ireland were categorized as either high deprivation or low deprivation schools based on the level of free school meals (FSM) uptake in the school and whether the school was located within a neighbourhood renewal area.
