Pupil Experience Report 2025

What over 230,000 pupil voices tell us about learning, safety and wellbeing in the 2024/25 academic year.

The education landscape is always shifting. Therefore, understanding what pupils truly experience is not just a nice-to-have – it’s an essential component of school improvement.

Edurio’s annual Pupil Experience Report brings together insights tracking key trends from 2022 to 2025, showing how pupil engagement, wellbeing, feelings of safety and interest in learning have shifted over the past 3 years.

The free report will give education leaders a clear view of what truly matters to pupils, offering insights to help improve wellbeing and drive higher outcomes.

Here’s what’s inside the report:

Progress from 2022 to 2025

Trends in pupil happiness, lesson interest, perceived safety and worry levels.

Primary vs secondary trends

Key differences between primary and secondary pupils’ experiences.

Key drivers of wellbeing

Factors that most influence pupil happiness, wellbeing and outcomes.

Why this matters for education leaders

The report helps education leaders understand pupil perceptions, identify wellbeing and safeguarding concerns early, and make data-driven decisions that will improve teaching and academic outcomes.

Education leaders can use this report to:

  • Identify priorities for school improvement and allocate investments accordingly
  • Develop strategies to improve pupil wellbeing and outcomes
  • Compare primary and secondary settings to identify where resources and support are most needed
  • Uncover factors with the biggest influence on pupil perceptions, wellbeing, and outcomes

The rise in secondary pupils feeling safe is heartening, but we cannot stop there. The Edurio national report is clear: inclusion remains a concern, with only 16% of pupils seeing people like them reflected in the curriculum.

Belonging isn’t just about being present, it’s about being seen, heard and celebrated. That must be central to how we lead our schools.
